Details
Empowered with the ability to scare away the dreaded Closet Monster (and some Hockey Injuries), Protector looms a menacing 14" tall. The sharp buzzsaw spikes and jagged exterior protect the swirling knot at its center. Protector's general form and various notches and protrustions interact and enhance the pronounced figure of the wood. The wood has been finished to a smooth sheen. In fact, fiber remnants of the hand-buffing process are still visible in some of the photos on this page.
Protector's base is a 4-layer baked enamel finish with red, blue, black and silver hues. The paint layer is on the underside of the acrylic and has depth and visual texture.
