Default Catching up!
Just finished another order. Trying to get some orders out before I get my knee operated on again. Running some extra blanks so I have something to carve on while recouping. Gathering up some wood for this years Christmas in July Santa. Looks like this year will be white pine although I am going to look at some basswood over the weekend.

Great work as usual Goody! I look forward to seeing your finished pieces. They definitely inspire me to get to work on my santas! Would love to carve one of your blanks this year!

Hope you do well with your surgery! We will be keeping an eye out for you!~

Goody,
Awesome Santas! Let's see...knee surgery? The downside? A little discomfort in exchange for new mobility. The upside? Lots of carving time when you can't do ...ummm... housework, mowing, cleaning the garage...just rest and recoup! Wow! What a deal!!!

Good luck with the surgery and recouperation and enjoy the unexpected gift of extra carving time. If you run out of things to carve, let me know and I'll send you some wood to do my santas for me.

decoycarve ,Those are some great looking Old World Santa's. I really love the nostalgic type of Santa carvings and your Santa's really depict that.
