THE DRAGON

2/24/2021

First Stuart Fuchs wanted a Yin/Yang on his first fret.  Soon a veterinarian requested a horse head, then I was asked to put  a beaver in the space.  I was then astonished to get a request for a Dung Beetle , but Cazzie's request for a Dragon was a new challenge.  Well we got it done, Kurt at Bay Engraving did his usual wonderful work.

Cazzie, who lives in Spain, is of apparently a native of Wales and this dragon is from the Welsh flag.  The red dragon is historically reflects the welsh peoples throwing off the Roman occupation of their land.  A google search revealed that the dragon may indeed be a Griffin copied from a Roman battle flag.  Who knows, Cazzie will be happy.

I was able to find red dye which successfully dyed the epoxy resin which I then put into Kurt's laser incisions.

Beautiful work, Brian! Love to see your craftsmanship!

Is that Indian Rosewood from the gentleman we met in Bellingham a couple of years ago? I need to try to do something with that.
