Default New Snowman Ornament

Friday I drew up this snowman ornament design and made a pattern. Yesterday our club had a table at a local craft show to help draw in new members. I spent a 6 hour shift doing a carving demo and carving this ornament. Signed up a couple new members and got a new ornament done!
He is carved from 1/2 x 5 1/4 tall and 2 3/4 wide basswood. Finished with acrylics, BLO and Satin Lacquer. Thanks for looking. I have attached the pattern for anyone who wants to use it.

Corey,
I love your little snowman, he turned out very nice. Both the carving and the painting are very well done. Thanks for sharing and thanks also for sharing the pattern. After the guilt trip Simon laid on me about not carving for my wife I may just have to carve one for her, she really likes snowmen.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark
