Default Elf Ornament: "Gargac Style"

Well, I've done 4 santa's "Gargac style" and when I read his Elf post, I had to jump on that one to use up my last blank that I had cut out. So yesterday (with our bad weather outside) while watching the football games on TV, I carved out my version of Mark Gargac's Elf Ornament.

Mark G., I had alot of fun the past three weeks carving some different ornaments from your step-by-step posts. Thanks so much for all the time you put in to make those posts happen, your techniques and guidence have hepled me become a better carver. I thank you. Bill

Hey Bill, your team wasn't loosing while you were watching the game were they...as your Elf has a pretty upset look on his face he he. He's got a great expression and the ears are very comical. I plan to do one myself at some point.

Really nice job and just look at them ears! Never thought of that. Sorta reminds me of the famous Ross Perot comment, "I'm all ears".

Thank's for posting.
