Here is an old world santa about 11" tall done in catalpa. The ornament is done in a piece of cottonwood bark and is about 4" high. Both are painted with acrylics and sealed with polyurethane.
I am very pleased with how these turned out. I welcome any suggestions to make them better.
Let me know what you think of them...
Thanks,
Mary

Love your noses!
You need no suggestions from anyone....you're doing a very unique and individualized Santa all of your own. I love the paint job too. Wonderful work.

Thanks Mark and Thor. Ash that could be arranged. But really thanks. I value everyones opinion here.
Krum let me clarify that. Its not that I have so many sales I can only hope to get that many sales in years to come. I do a lot for our families and we both have kind of big families. I like to give something to everyone, even my 1 year old great nephew. I am too slow to not work on them all year long.
Thanks for all your kind words.
