These dragon bookends are manufactured from old oak steps from stair. This noble wood is easy to sustain.This original bookend is engraved and cutted from 100% recycled board.

The dragon is a strong symbol both in Europe and Asian countries. A lot of legends, fairytales and books tell stories of these magnificients and dangerous animals. They symbolize the evil in catholic countries but is also associated with chaos, warmth, positivity and masculine.

These bookends are available in two different tones: a darker tone and a plain tone. Chose yours in accordance to your library.

These bookends are completely hand-made. I cut and engrave the Dragon with Roland, my 3 axis CNC machine. After, I cut and sand down the heavy base support. I assemble the shape with the base by gluing. The bookends are delivered with a raw finish. As it is natural wood, you are free to wax them to facilitate the maintenance. If you wish, I can varnish your bookends on request; it is free of charge (you will just have to wait 3 days to allow the varnish to dry completely).

Each bookend is made up from treads and risers of old stairs, they are natural wooden boards. Therefore, each bookend is unique and can be slightly different than the pictures hereby. Variations appear in the color of the wood or in the orientation of the fibers. A few reminders of the fact that the bookends are from recycled materials can appear as nodes, marks of nail or of no-longer-here woodworms. I do like these, I think it is somehow romantic, but if you don’t like your dragon bookends, feel free to ask a free return!
