Lava Lion

Jake wanted something wild. He had a very specific vision for his putter, where bullets were melting into the lava, and a katana sword floated above.

He wanted a gold crown with diamonds around the sides, and a roaring lion with wings on the bottom. And he wanted to be involved every step of the way.

The first step was choosing the right piece of wood and dyeing it black. Then I poured yellow and orange UV acrylic to create a lava effect, and sent pictures over Trello to make sure the color was perfect.

I then 3D printed and hand-painted the sword, and used clear UV to hover it above the lava.

For the bullets, I removed all the gunpowder and primer before setting them in the lava acrylic. I roughed up the metal so that the clear acrylic would adhere, and carefully did the glassy pour.

The engraving around the side required 8 different passes, lined up perfectly for continuity.

This project took a couple months to complete, and a whole lot of back and forth to make it perfect.

When I set out to get a new putter, I wanted custom and I wanted the best. Here I am with the putter of my dreams that is truly one of a kind and as functionally capable as any putter in the world. I'm so connected to this putter because I was involved from the brainstorming through seeing pictures of it as a raw piece of wood all the way to the final product. At first I was a little confused if wood being used to make a putter made sense or would be effective, but after using it and testing against other putters I can 100% say that wood/epoxy whatever was used in this putter is totally fine. These putters are functional performance works of art and there is nothing on the market that comes close.
