For anyone who keeps a dragon close, on the games shelf, the writing desk, or the shelf above the paperbacks, here's one cut to earn the spot. Wings up and tail curled, it's built from six layers of wood over a clear acrylic core, the whole body worked in Celtic-style swirls that tangle the way old knotwork does.

In folklore the dragon is read as a guardian, a keeper of strength and old wisdom, which is a fair thing to have watching a room. Lit from the base, a warm red flickers up through the swirls like coals catching; run it cool and blue for background light, or bright when the dice are out, across seven colours, four modes and a brightness dial.

It runs off any USB with a plug included, no bulbs or wiring, so it's ready the moment it lands. Each dragon comes from our own drawings, never a stock file bought in elsewhere, then laser-cut and hand-finished in natural oil here in Fife, usually a 2 to 7 day wait before it's boxed, and the Celtic knotwork is worked right through every layer so the whole body reads as one continuous swirl.
