Slow and steady. For those who would like to make a lion head from scratch, repair one, have managed to salvage a lion frame and want to patch it up and get it back to its former glory, YOU CAN DO IT! It may seem like a daunting task but if you take it slow and steady, work on one part at a time, you’ll soon start seeing progress.

Initially, I was hoping to have the whole head made from bamboo, but in the end, I decided to incorporate rattan cane into it. The rattan is just so easy to turn into circles and when there are enough joints, it holds fairly firmly.
