Default Old World Santa
Mary finally got around to painting this fellow. He is carved from a block of Basswood and painted with oils. About 20" high.

Thumbs up Re: Old World Santa
Doug,

Nice Santa and I really like the paint job.


Woody01,

I just wanted to say congrats on being featured on the latest cover of "Chip Chats". It was a good article too and the pictures were great of your Santas. So, is it true you are going to just trade your Santas instead of selling at a gallery?

Thor-- Since you liked the hands I thought I'd send along a better pic of how I treated the hands. These pics will give you a better look.
