Matt Walker Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Yesterday at our guild meeting I was honored by having this dragon turned over to me. I had admired it just after it's creation nearly 30 years ago. Some of you met Mike Rose at our recent Hammer in, he has made many dragons but this has always been my favorite. What a talented artist! Sorry it isn't sharp but I believe this community will appreciate the creativity. When the upload finishes on my slow connection, I have connected some photos into a clip .

Simon W Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 That is pretty cool! The textures are awesome throughout the body and that face is so expressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dougherty Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Wow, that is stunning. Now if you only knew someone who could fab up a copper companion piece for it -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Walker Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Thanks, The texture is from a deep etch. He doesn't remember the etchant but guesses he put it in muriatic acid. Good idea Brian, at the hammer in he was the fellow who did tongs and had the big fantasy blade in the IITH.

Matt Walker Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Cool, Y'all like Dragons, so here is one I did about the same age as Mike's. A door handle on our outbuilding. 4 Matt Walker https://www.youtube.com/@onedamascusmaker/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dougherty Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Very cool! I dig the scales. Made from a round rasp? Edited November 14, 2022 by Brian Dougherty -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Walker Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Yeah, the head was a separate piece of mild forge welded to a farriers rasp. Matt Walker https://www.youtube.com/@onedamascusmaker/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
