This is the third dragon I have made.  This will be a gift for a grandson. 

         Dimensions:  26" wide by 15.5" high  

Wood used: 

      Dragon body and head - manzanita

      Dragon wing -- oak

      Dragon head piece and neck piece -- alder

       Warrior -- a single piece of oak

       Lance -- hardwood dowel

Color is either natural wood or wood dye, except for the black coloring.   

Lines on dragon, shoes and belt on warrior, markings on lance -- wood burning

Backer -- 1/4" birch plywood

Frame - 3/4" pine

The original dragon pattern came from Great Book of Dragon Patterns by Lora Irish.  I modified the dragon pattern.  The warrior is just my own drawing.

Here is my modified pattern.  Note that I later changed the tail.

I used Keda Dye for coloring.  This was the first time I used dye.

Here are photos of the dragon and warrior before gluing them onto the plywood.
