Default 20 inch Old World Santa

I had posted this some time ago in WIP so here he is after Mary finally got around to painting him. Carved from Basswood and painted with oils.

His hands are amazing! You really got into the buckles on that back pack too, and even his staff is carved!
Wonderful carving.
Thanks for showing us the final results.
Thor

Doug, that is a great job. How did you do the texture on the white part of the robe? Looks real.
