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.

This is the second intarsia dragon I made. It was also a gift for a grandson. This first photo shows the final result. The drawing was in Great Book of Dragon Patterns by Lora Irish. It was not an intarsia pattern, so I had to modify it somewhat to turn it into an intarsia piece. In addition to turning it into an intarsia piece, I made three modifications to make it easier to build. (1.) I enlarged the head and made the fire come straight out of the mouth. (2.) In the pattern the handle of the sword is ribbed, but I made the handle smooth with just a few indentations to show where a hand can grip. (3.) I did not add a mane to the body except in a couple of short sections. I used these wood types. Head, body, fire, handle and top of sword - walnut Blade of sword - alder Wings - oak Scales on the body and most markings on the face are wood burning. I tried to avoid paint, but I did paint the horn, teeth, eye, larger markings on the face, and the fire Just fyi, the body does not go underneath any part of the sword. It looks that way, as it should, but that is just an illusion. You can also see a mistake I made -- on one wing, the grain runs vertical, on the other wing, the grain runs horizontal. I should have paid more attention when I was selecting which pieces of oak to cut for the wings. Overall, I was pleased with the result.

I have been busy with a lot of things this last year and most of my projects have been utilitarian rather than fun scroll saw projects. I was able to make this puzzle and I finished it up on Fri night. Sat. my family had booth at a flea market, trying to get rid of old stuff etc. and I had a small table with what scroll saw and other art I had to sell. Not the best venue for this type of item but this little puzzle sold first and without haggling, they just payed the asked for price. I expected to be talked down a bit. It was the only scroll work I sold but I was ok with that. I also sold one of my Colored Pencil paintings. between all of us we were about $200 over booth costs. And the weather was perfect, wish it was the same throughout the country.
