Dragon case

Looks very cool Jay. I like how you gave the ball an intense light effect. I've been researching dragons for a case and was reading about the significant differences in regards to the number of talons they have. Apparently, 5 talons was only allowed to be used for the Emperor. Punishable by death (very serious in China). So, it looks like you're OK here. :D

I like your style. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see it when its done.

I was doing the same research and found the same thing. So we made a case with some three clawed dragons and some four clawed dragons and one five clawed dragon.

I think the history of the Chinese (Asian) dragons is very interesting to read about actually. Quite different than that of Western dragons.

I have some of Jay's work on my arm and his shop is full of his original art. His tooling brings a nice fresh perspective to cue cases I think.

Nice job Jay!

Also Jay, Hernandito says to tell you hi and that he is available if you get so busy that you need some help.... :-)
