Default 1st. Place Santa Bust.

Just a quick update, in the open division my 7" Santa Bust; "Your On My Mind" took 1st and Best in Class.

Many thanks to fellow board member "Cottonwood" (Millard) for his Santa inspiration, eye carving method, and his web site. Hope we can get you over to our club in Buffalo NY for a future club seminar. Your right up with Lynn in my book, thanks for all your help to our fellow board members.

Bill
