Fang the guard dragon

Since I'm 3/4 retired figured why not have a go at wood carving. Here he is in 24 inches of maple. Hiding in a celtic knot. This started out a a 1 inch pewter pendant.

If you like this kind of art go to www.deviantart.com  Then search --tradarcher. Got a bit of a gallery there.
