Flintshire Dragon

[Ianw6522]

I was asked to carve a small Dragon and Chough in order to represent the bird on the Flintshire Flag and Flintshire being part of Wales, represented by the dragon. I carved it from what was in my head but, yet again, I have been throwing the paint around for the fangs, eyes etc then four coats of Tung oil to finish.

Just thought I would post it on here as this is my first dragon.

Pretty sweet that mate. How long did it take?

[Ianw6522]

Thanks stars cream, last 2 days so in total about 12 hours

[Starscream]

Mind if I ask what you charged and what wood you used? I'm just nosey like that

[Ianw6522]

I did it as payment for a few loads of carving wood I had from the community council. It is a piece of Larch that was wind fallen last winter.

I don't know what price I would put on it really, I have been asked to carve other Dragons by people who passed by when I was carving it.

I suppose about £150 to £200, I m sure someone on here will give me an idea

That's nice it's at least a £300 piece as a fair price.

I agree.
