Powercarving the Headless Horseman’s Helmet from World of Warcraft

In this video, you’ll see the process of making the Headless Horseman’s Helmet from World of Warcraft that is powercarved from a block of maple wood. The Headless Horseman is a character from World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and can be found during the Hallow's End event, which is World of Warcraft’s version of Halloween. He is a unique character, thanks to his memorable voice, mount and also his grinning helmet which I decided to make a lamp from. This project is mostly woodworking and took about 3 months and was supposed to be on Halloween, but I kinda underestimated the difficulty of this project. If you enjoy these types of videos, then we assure you that there will be more videos like this one with projects connected to a unique character from WoW or other videogames and also completely different projects. Thank you very much for watching.
