Dragon carving
Ruddy Darter:
After a lay off for various reasons I've managed to find the time and motivation to continue on a way overdue project that I started a while back for someone, who thankfully has been cool with the wait.
It's one side of a bow stand I posted a while back, a Welsh/heraldic style dragon in white oak. It's work in progress and I just finished the rough shape and now waiting for details, scales claws etc.., and then picked out with staining.I'm working on it a couple of hours each evening so shouldn't take to long to complete, touch wood. I'm hoping by doing a post now it will keep me committed to finishing, and thought it might be of interest to see the dragon transform from here, just having a little ponder at present on how best to put on the detail features.

Pat B:
You know that's a griffon and not a dragon. ;) Nice carving none the less! Well done.
Ruddy Darter:
Thanks Pat B, it's going to look a fair bit different when the features and a bit more shaping are put on, now just hoping I do a reasonable job of it. :)
Here's a pic of what it's based on to give an idea of the features and what it will hopefully resemble when done and stained(Jacobian oak and red mahogony stains), although it's been modified to fit in a heraldic shield shape.

Knotty:
Wow, that's totally impressive work! Nice job 😊
Ruddy Darter:
Thanks Knotty, I found it quite a brain drain how I would translate it to a carving, it wasn't as straight forward as I first thought, I'm back to enjoying it now though :)
