"Santa w/Wierd Hat", I purchase a total of three knee's on ebay and this is my second Santa carving, just a face and hat, wanted to emphasize a wierd hat structure, acrylic paints, spray satin finish, 10"X2" at base.

Javaman,
Very unique!
Are you using power or hand tools?

I applaud your imagination..........hear the clapping?

Nice job.

Thanks Rick & Mitch,

All hand tools, no power, carved this one during the Monday night football game last week, painted this week, my third knee I finished carving on Sunday, just started painting him tonight, will have his Santa pic posted over the weekend for sure. Again thanks. Bill

Coffeeman,
I have to add my compliments. This one has a hint of Dr. Suess with the wonderful hat. I love it.

I agree with Thor. Dr. Suess is definetly there. Almost expect him to start saying "Right foot, Left foot, left foot, right foot". Bet if I read that book to my Grandson once, I read it a hundred times. He could quote the book with me as I read it. Really is a super carving and a great imagination incorporating the hat into it in that manner. Thanks for the look see!!
