Default Just finished my second Gargac style ornament.

This one went a little smoother than the first and did`nt take half the time. I have already started an elf I think I`m hooked. As always suggestions or comments welcome. Thanks again Mark...Bruce

Looking good. I have lost count of the santa's I've done off of Mark's idea. Already finished an elf and the finish is still drying.
Merry Christmas

Bruce, Very nice job, I really like the softness you've captured on his beard and mustach, they are a lot of fun to carve and I really enjoy the size, find it easier to handle. Great job. Bill

Very well done. His jowls give him a real aged look. You did a real good job on all his features.

Sure looks good to me, no suggestions for ya. I have done two and really enjoyed carving them. Your right I think it does get easier after the first one. I have a third one that I'm converting for a Mountain Man type.
