Default Why is the dragon so mad?
Sorry folks, I almost forgot the punch line! Why the dragon is so mad in the first place!!! I know the bow in the hand of Mr. Viking Hunter was a tip ......but......I forgot to carve and install the arrow! The shaft is Ebony and the feathers are Holly! Geez.....I'm getting worse, more forgetful than usual!

Even Kira got caught up in the scene this afternoon, the dragon scared her so much she had to play dead!!! Smile

(I put the pencil in for scale, it was too big to use as an arrow)

It was great seeing the carving every step of the way... it really came together in the end Bob. Try carving that furry guy/gal in the 4th panel. He or she looks like they're quit comfortable in that position.

Why is the dragon mad? Well, if you had a pencil poking at you, you'd get mad too!

Great work, Bob! Love the detailing.

Excellent carving Bob, I really love it! Great job with the detailing.

Dragons are supose to be mad, If they were happy they would'nt be called Dragons, anyways, if you lived on this earth for a 1000 plus years you would be mad to!

I thought Barney was a wimped out T-rex?

Maybe you're thinking of Dudley?
