Yeah, it has my creativity running too. These were done for a client, but I have a guitar based on War of the Worlds and I'm thinking of doing something like this for that guitar is the alien hands. But, wouldn't some type of eagle look cool?
Hi Gang,
I just realized it's been a while since I was here. Sorry for the absence. Anyway, these just rolled out of the shop and I thought you might like to see.
I 3D shape the claws our of recon stone with mop claws.
Not positive I understand your question, but if I take a guess there is another way to do this. Super Glue the entire piece together and then route it in as one piece. I hope this is what you meant.
The armor is actually metal (nickel), so it changes look in the pictures depending on how by mid-range camera see its and how the flash highlights it. In real life is looks like steel.

Still a lot of leveling to do, but here it is at the moment.
But wolfy is done.
and to the poster above, yeah something like this takes about 60 hours.
Actually those pieces are just going to be trimmed off. We talked about rolling it over the edge, but the client is painting the bevels so there would be no point in that.
