Default A Santa headed west

Sometimes it’s not about what you would like to be carving, but more about what you are being ask for. This little guy is going to Glenwood Springs Colorado. That’s a long way from here in Southern Indiana. I just hope they like it. I always say that if they are not satisfied with it, I will gladly return there money. So far so good. My next one will be a cowpoke (for me). I’m afraid that Lynn D. has me hooked on the western theme......Myron

Nice one Myron. Terrific paint job.

Although I would have to admit he'd look a lot better in a Stetson!

Niced one, Myron! I'm sure he'll be welcome in Glenwwod Springs. The place sure has changed in the last 50 years, but it's still a nice place.

Myron, great little santa, very well done. I might offer a little suggestion when sending him so far, ya might wanna slip him a Gravol just in case he gets sick on the long journey.
