The Nomad From Morwood

[fangorn]

I believe coated washi paper like the toads (think high quality paper mache). I think he tweaked the formula and technique a bit for the toads to increase durability, but is otherwise very similar.

I the think it's Chiyogami paper. it's slightly different from washi. chiyogami is already printed on a thick paper. it's a Japanese paper. Dan covered it with a special coating, acrylic I think.

washi is used on the Toads. Dan uses it blank and paints on/inside, saturating the different layers of washi paper...

the coating on the toads is much more resistant!!

I was under the impression that this is his sole source of income.

Yeah supposedly, but then how the hell does 40 devices take this long if you're working at least 8 hours a day on them?

You got me.

This is why I'm starting to think the Nomads don't exist... How can it take so long. Each device has had hundreds of hours put into them by now. It will take a family photo to reassure me. Until I see something concrete, my concern will simply grow.

They exist. Dan just dropped an update with photos.

Holy shit, I'm actually scared to look and finally see my actual Nomad

It seems so life changing, like Before Nomad and after I see it I'll be living in After Nomad.

Basically it's this: End of March is still the commitment but shipping will likely bleed into the first week of April. Individual unit pictures will be taken once completed. Then the imgur gallery of the body blocks which I would post here but I won't. If Dan wanted others to see it he'd hop in and post it himself. Basically he has a few pics of the finished up body blocks, specifying the wood types.

Holy SHIT

Almost every single wooden body looks absolutely incredible. Truly jaw dropping pieces of wood and my jaw don't drop often

People are going to be VERY happy when they receive these and forget all about the delays, just the site of them has almost made up for them, for me..

I know mine is one of the two roasted curly maple ones. Both look great so I think I'll be happy either way!

 

[HighLads]

Great to see some joy on the thread! Cant wait to see the units in action

Loved the pictures, also made me feel happy that nearly 5 years later I still like the wood I chose best! I stopped smoking/ combusting/ consuming a while ago, wonder if finally having the Nomad will bring me back to it.

I’m the other, and likewise.
