AWwwwwwwww Hes such a cute olde Santa {like me} haheheee

Gene I like that you didnt have a night cap on him,his bald head looks so neat. Like also,the patch on his PJ's. All in ALLllllllll! Just a great carving plus your painting makes this olde Santa worth while on waiting a whole year for him to get here!! Forrest

That face looks like he needs some sleep and is definitely ready for some shut-eye. Nice capture!

Great carving Gene! If you don't have anywhere to send that one, I know a nice shelf in Tennessee that it would fit on! Great looking santa!

Nice carving Gene! I like his expression. He appears to me to just have let out a sigh just thinking about all the work that is about to come his way ;O)
Great work.
