I heard we couldn't get this item anymore. YEAH RIGHT! Anyway, a little background. This project has been going on since 2007. I commissioned a local wood turner / carver to make me this IRL Legendary. The headpiece is basswood, the staff is maple, and the end piece is turned aluminum. The staff was too big to make on a standard lathe so they made the staff in two pieces and then connected them together. The headpiece was done long before anything else and finding someone who was able to do the staff portion was perhaps the longest part of the job. The staff is pretty tall. I should take an official measurement but it's over 6 feet. Seems about right when you check out Medivh and the thing is a good head taller than him when it is at his side. Anyway I didn't share this with too many people from the outset because I hate talking about stuff that maybe may never get done. And two years is a long time to string people along. Plus I didn't want to deal with the LOL IS IT DONE YET LOL THAT AIN'T HAPPENIN' messages. So yeah, here it is.

Grats on the IRL legendary. I now need a pic of you dual-wielding Altiesh and Frostmourne.
