Kenny,
Very nice! I like the way you incorporated the scene in the upper section. This is something I have never seen before.

What type of mounting is used for this piece?

Thank you all for the nice comments. I appreciate them.

Chuck, I did one a few years ago that had a split on one side and did a Santa with his beard along both sides of the spilt.
Here is a picture of it.
