The wooden tail is about 4 cm long and 4 cm wide.

Wood stabilisation is the process of replacing any air in the capillaries of the wood with a hardening agent. The hardening agent can contain colours, which is what gives the piece such interesting results. The wood is soaked the agent under pressure and then baked to cure. Once cured, the wood is stronger and more durable than before. If any colours were added during the process it is all throughout the wood, inside and out.
