On a recent ramble with Mr T, Terry amd Matt, I collected this lovely piece of deadwood to use in a tanuki. My wife has today seen the image of a traditional Chinese/Japanese dragon in it. What do you think?

I'm not sure whether to use this image within a tanuki or to keep the wood as a display piece. Again, what do you think?

Considering I've spent much of my life around tattoos and tattooing, not to mention having a particular interest in Eastern cultures and the wood being in my office which is filled with images of dragon tattoos, I can't believe I didn't see this image myself. A case of not seeing the deadwood for the trees, perhaps?

The first pic has lost about a 1/4 of its width, but trust me, it has a spur which represent the hind leg, and tails of nicely to represent, well, the tail!

I looked all over and never saw the dragon but this little creature jumped out at me right from the start, hope you dont mind the coloring to bring him out a little more.

Actually I saw the same section as JLudlam but saw it as a tiger on a branch.

Think you're right, Smithy. This could more than make up for people not being so able to see shapes in the flames of open fires any more.

Why is there a turtle humping my dragon?

Laughing I think you may be on to something there! Kev, can we start a new forum please?

Sorry, JL. The dragon is actually the other way round. Look at the black and white pic below the wood for long enough and you'll see a similar shape developing.

@ Fiona. A tiger? Where? Get your crayons out and show me.

I saw the dragon the other way around.
The tiger is in the same place as the turtle but slumped over the branch.

Sounds like a new marshal arts movies "Wooden Dragon, Humping Turtle". I can't see it as an action thriller, but I never considered myself much of a movie critic! Laughing

Sorry HR. In the time-honoured fashion of kids the world over, I got my crayons stuck up my nose in 1965 and they've never re-emerged.

Why are you posting a picture of a chicken with a broken leg. I thought we were disgussing bits of old wood. Mad as a box of frogs, the lot of you. Tanuki the deadwood dragon? Icon_rolleyes

Will, it was a full moon the other night - it's only to be expected.

I saw either a bunny rabbit or a woodpecker in Eaton's bit of wood, depending on which way you looked at it.


Hey this is fun!!

I dont know about a dragon but the first one does remind me of an otter, the second on the other hand is what us backwoods Floridans would call a black-matter-swabertail, or in your case one of the mossy species. Hate it when you go fishing and get one of those suckers on a hook Mad
