[Woodcarver] Dragon Spoon (was need help for class)

[Mike Bloomquist]

Great idea Bill... Like a love spoon, right?  You could place the bowl of
the spoon where the flipper tail is.  If I were you carving it, I would draw
an imaginary line horizontally down the visual center of the body and tweek
the curl of the tail a bit to make sure the center of the spoon bowl ended
centered along it.

Keep on Carvin'
