I love wood. I grew up with the scents of wood and glue, since my Dad has a workshop with all tools imaginable. He has always created things – still does actually – like Gyro Gearloose.
This little dog I made out of red meranti wood:
The brass frog once scared my neighbor. Senseless. She screamed and ran away. I was showing her the black wax model I molded. She thought it was real:
I crafted both the dog and the frog a long, long time ago, but they live where ever I live. Sturdy pets! 
Last year I created this silver-green dragon. It has been a guest at Figments before:
Witness its birth:

I love the dog, is there a cat coming up in the future? You’re very gifted, Marion
It has been many years since this dog came into existence. I don’t even remember what tools to use, I would have to buy them. Perhaps, Angel, perhaps one day a cat will appear.
WOW Marion…you are so talented. i want that dog.
You can have it, Jo! Just grab a piece of wood and start cutting
I fear it would end up looking like an aardvark Marion.
If you set out to create an aardvark, there would be no problem at all, no?
Excellent! You are talented Marion.
Thank you for liking these creatures
Clever and so cute!
You are making me smile, Jude
I have often wondered about wood carving, good for you for giving it a go, and making such an adorable sculpture.
You should really give it a try too!
I am afraid my clumsiness would cause me to lose a finger
I will stick with less dangerous hobbies.
Hmmm, perhaps you could wear armor?
Brilliant Marion, the dragon is awesome but I love the little dog
Hehehe, he’s a sweet little thing, Gilly, thank you.

Great work! Z
Thanks, Z!
Yet another awesome talent you have.
One I hardly ever activate, Christine. But when I do, it feels good
Nice work Marion. Love the dragon.
Though it has a pig’s snout, I still like it too, Walter
Made it during a workshop.

Very creative! I like the cute doggy!
Fergie, thank you!
Really cool…lovely keepsakes.
You did a great job on the dragon. I really like the color.
First I applied the green, but that was too dull. So I added silver, and that did the trick. So nice of you to comment!
I love the dog
It feels real smooth, NN
your wooden doggy stole my heart
It is kind of cute, isn’t it
Beautifully crafted pieces!
Thank you very much, Madelaine
