Carving the Dragon

Carousel carving continues in a classic manner here in Salem, OR. No power tools permitted as the volunteers repair or create new figures for the working carousel.

Loving your PoF and PoV giving a shot of the craftsman's hands, across the dragon's body, as he brings out the magic of wood..

it's wonderful that old crafts are surviving and often reviving in this 'fast' world where plastic, of all sorts, seems to be worshipped.
