Default Christmas Carvings

Here's what I've been up to this past week. The large Santas are 5 inches tall and the short ones are 2.25 inches tall. My version of a pattern by Gene Messer. The snowmen are supposed to be hokey-lookingWink

Great Santas. Like the long-handles. They all look warm.

Claude, those are wonderful! Your Santas are really great, I think they look like they are ready for a TV magic people to put them into motion in a Christmas cartoon.

Quite a nice group of Santa's you've carved up. The Santa's will be fighting over the snowmen though.

WOW! What a cute bunch of santas and snowmen. A whole tribe of them!! I like that you've made them in different sizes.

Well done!
