Default Defeating Boredom With Fancy Hair Styles

Like many of you I am carving lots of Santas again this year. This year has been one that I have found it hard to be very motivated or inspired . I'm sure that problem is familiar to some of you from time to time. I have even turned to giving Santa a fancy hair style. Any other ideas?

I always changed the beard and/or the hat style, and you are right, it doea relieve some of the boredom.

Hi Millard, Those 4 are good examples of hair styles. Your cuts and finishes are so flowing and smooth. Enjoy seeing your thoughts and carvings. Merle

Millard,
I admit to boredom when carving multiples of anything. I love the detail on these santas so you must have conquered the boredom issue. Great carving.

Great looking Santas, Millard, the hair looks great on all of them. Your efforts to defeat boredom are resulting in some real nice carvings.

Millard, Those are excellent as usual! I love the different hair styles. How about carving some bald santas with just a beard, or maybe some elves? You work is excellent.
