WOODCARVERS spent four months shaping Hero the Dragon in a bid to raise more than £8,000 for Help for Heroes.
Hero has been appearing at events across the county and people have been donating at least £2 to have their names carved into one of his 4,000-plus scales.
About six members of the Ox and Bucks Woodcarvers club carved the dragon and have so far raised £7,254.
Carver Brian Eastoe, 77, left, from Drayton, said: “The club is extremely proud and gratified at the generosity of the public.”
