Default 5 1/2" full body Elf ornament
In follow up to my earlier "voting" thread on selecting red hat, green, or bald Santa, the green hat one went into tonights ornament exchange, thanks to all for voting and participating.

Here is a picture of the ornament that I received during the exchange. He was carved by one of our club members, a great carver and fantastic knife maker, Dave Notto, thanks Dave I will proudly display him every year.

For those of you interested in challanging yourself to carve one up, his measurements are 5 1/2' X 3" X 1/2", basswood. Goodluck and enjoy the picture.

Bill

I'm glad you let us know how the voting turned out.
This is a terrific ornament. I know you were happy to get that one in the mail. The features are really great.
