Chinese Dragon Box Top

I have been dying to show you all my new favourite, The Chinese Dragon Box!
I had a bit of a breakdown burning this one.. Not enough time and everything that could have went wrong, went wrong. To make matters worse, the wood was terrible to work with. When burning, there was a halo that kept singeing around it, that I had to keep sanding off. The wood was also very 'dirty', clogging up my tool with carbon that needed cleaned off every 10 seconds.
Anyway.. I had spent 4 days straight burning, then decided to take Wednesday off. I woke up on Thursday meaning to get started on the Dragon box, but I had an awful pain day and just couldn't manage it. I was left only Friday to complete it, as I was supposed to be surprising the new owner of it on the Saturday. I got a week long extension and without the pressure, I fell back in love with it, and it's now one of my favourite pieces This is also my first time experimenting with using colour, the dark scales are actually gold but it was difficult capturing a picture with them all glistening at once! I hope you love it as much as I do, and needless to say, the pictures do it no justice at all!
