Steve T Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Well I've just finished a commission work for a friend who wanted something for her son on his Graduation next month, They are big into martial arts and dragons but also like the symbols from the Maori styles so blended a relatively traditional Hei Matau (fishhook) shape and overlayed with a dragon. It's giraffe bone and I love the transition of the colours as you get deeper into the bone from white at the surface to a honey amber in the middle. It still needs the cord put on and it'll be a 4 thread hemp plait. Still getting the hang of the hand tools but certainly liking the sharper lines and angles I can get.

Billy Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think it's wonderful Steve. A clever way of working the dragon/martial art component into the traditional shape. Very nice. The material has a lovely character to it also. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
