Here is another view of the Leafy Seadragon carving. Notice that the seaweed, made from Tupelo wood and copper rod, is attached to the back of the Seadragon's head. The base is made from Tasmanian Myrtle Burl wood.
I carved this Leafy Seadragon for the 2007 World Fish Carving Championships in Reno, Nevada. It won Second Best in World Decorative Lifesize. Made primarily from tupelo wood and painted with acrylics. I will post more information about this carving and the championships at a later date.
