Default 3rd. Cypress Knee Santa

My last piece of Cypress Knee from the three I purchased off ebay earlier, i call him "Thin Santa", was the tallest piece but also the thinnest, 11" X 1.5 ", acrylic paints and satan spray finish, will be posting a combined pic of all three together. Whole project was alot of fun, looking forward to getting other knee's down the road.

Bill he is out of this world I just love him. Having had to work from a thin knee made him all the more interesting. Bill you have a very distictive style I would now know it if I saw one of your pieces in a show. Great,great work and I just love the painting as well.

Awesome! Love the curl in the beard and use of the shape of that knee.
Great paint job too.

Bill, I love your Santa. How creative you were in coming up with a design to match the wood. He's adorable and would be a lovely addition to anyone's (including me) collection of Christmas Santas. Thanks for sharing.
