Merle, Those are wonderful! They look huge, compared to what I try to do, but they are wonderful. They should really fit right into your Santa ornament display.

Cliff I amaze myself at times. Mel ,Keoma, and Harold, thank you for the nice words. Tom H, I have to carve to this size it is easier for me to see, sometime these are to small. lol. Forrest this will be the first time I have ever done anything like this before. I have Managed Restaurants and Motels for about 23 Yrs.. That was selling someone elses product not mine. It should be a good experience and fun. My oldest Daughter is pretty heavy into Crafts. Stain Glass, Sewing, Painting Holiday cut outs and who know what else. lol. So that will be a Bonding Day for Merle and his Girls. Thanks everyone for your Comments. Merle
