Chinese Dragon

Bob,

This is an interesting piece. I simply cannot imagine the effort that it would take to produce something like this.
This is truly a work of art.

Thanks for the post.

I’m just curious … was your scroll saw hungry for more wood about an hour after you finished? lol

That’s an amazing piece … thanks for sharing!

Amazing level of detail.

-- Shawn, I ask in order to learn

That is the coolest piece of woodworking art that I’ve ever seen. I admire your talent and the patience you have to do such fine detail work. Bob, you rock. Great stuff. I hope you’ll post more examples.

-- Made lots of sawdust and pounded some nails. Haven't finished anything, though.

Wow! This is such an extraordinary piece of wood art—it almost leaves me breathless! Incredible talent, and I really appreciate your sharing it with us.

Thanks to everyone for the great comments and encouragement. To know that others appreciate your work makes everything worth while. After browsing this great site and seeing the brilliant wood working projects posted by others I really had second thought of posting the dragon. So glad I did.

To Lip. Hey, at times I had wished the scroll saw had eaten the lot more of the wood. I have fed it since and working on a couple more projects.
