Blake,
Great Santa. How tall is he? It's really cute and well carved and painted. If he is getting ready for bed, wouldn't he have on slippers instead of shoes? Just a thought.....

Hey Donna! He's only about 4 inches tall, which made it a little difficult to add a lot of detail on his outfit. I appreciate the feedback. He was a lot of fun to carve!

My friend, You have hit another home run with this one. Like the carving and the painting. When viewing this piece, My eys focused on the face and eyes. Excellent!!!!

Now I am waiting to see the rest of the scene!
