Old World

I've been commissioned to carve 12 old world santas for a co-worker who wants to put them on her 18' Christmas tree. Luckily for me, she wants them all to be basically the same. I am using Wayne Shinlever's roughout to carve these santas for her. I have 3 complete, and only 9 more to go! I usually try not to do commissioned pieces, but since they are from a roughout they haven't been that bad!

Thanks for looking and your comments are welcome!

Another nice one. Will be interesting to see if there is any difference from No 1 and No 12.
Like the color

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions! I'm hoping that the more of these that I do, the better they will look. Thanks again for all your kind comments!

That's a dandy santa you got there. I'll probably use him as a reference at some point as I've been getting request to do a Father Xmas.
