With Goodys help , I developed my own roughout from my Santa pattern .

I though you might enjoy seeing what they have become.

Thanks Kenny ,

My son agrees with you , he just asked for one for his girlfriend for Christmas ..

Could be because he likes it ...

I will assume it is because he likes it

Nah Ash, he likes her for sure!! HEHEHE
Really, Ilike the the way the Santa flows, the hood, cape then the over coat, down to his robe. The face is nice also. Hope you keep it natural as it is stunning that way. best to you and hey, I have one of those son's also that wanted several ornaments for his friends and of course, his Daughter got several as the other Grand Angels did also.

He will keep then natural!!! Ash can't paint and Anna is too busy with orders to paint them for him, and I don't paint anymore!

Glad the roughouts worked out for him. We did the roughouts from his original carvings without having to make the original the pattern. All of mine were carved and then pieces fitted to the original to be able to chuck them up in the machine.

Thanks all,

Took it home to my biggest critic .....

Went to get it this morning and was informed ....

THE CAT ATE IT !!!!!!

now our cat will eat almost anything but the snicker that followed I really have my doubts! But I did NOT get the carving !
