Default Another Driftwood Santa
This guy was created from a piece of old growth cedar driftwood found on the shores of Vancouver Island size is 10 X 6 X 3. I was suprised how hard this wood is having carved cedar many times before but this old growth cedar is extreamly hard. Thanks for looking I dont post everything I carve but this piece was just so unusual to carve but a lot of fun.
