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 |

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. Mary |
