That disgruntled elf would be my wife. Now I know why my knees hurt. Keep practicing those peg legs. I may be needing one!

Ash, Look good. The only thing I saw was the patch was carved a little in to much.

Lol,
I agree Kenny but the patch was added after the eye was already there on a bit of a you can't do that kind of thing..amazing how I get into trouble trying to show someone one thing and get pushed into something else .

I will finish him up a bit more and post another pic.

Ash is that what you call a pirated Santa. Nice start look forward to seeing him finished. Looks as if Santa will be a little slower this year that peg leg will slow him down some.

Ash, I figured that and I have found myself with that problem many times. However, a quick fix. glue a piece of wood to the socket and carve the eye patch out. Should look fine my friend.
