Default Bedtime Santa

Here is a new Santa I carved from a roughout I picked up at Woodcraft last week. I'm probably going to put him in a scene but wanted to post some pictures since I haven't posted anything in a while. As always, your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for taking a look!

Blake

Nice work! Don't understand the "Bedtime" title though.

Thanks everyone for taking a look! I appreciate the feedback.

I gave him a bedtime title because I plan on placing him in a scene where he is getting into the bed. The outfit looks more like long john's than the traditional santa suit. I'll post more when the scene is finished.
