Default Santa Ornament

Hi All, here is my version of Mark Gargac's santa from the winter issue of WCI magazine. I'm hoping that with each one I do I'll get better. Lease wise that's the way it's suppose to work. LOL I'll add another image after it's painted.
Thanks Mark, for showing us how you carve a pierced santa.
Kathy

Kathy, Yep, one does tend to get better with each carving. Some have a longer way to go than others. But not you! That's a fine carving. It will even be "more finer" once you get some finish on it. Tom H

Good looking Santa, Kathy. I'm so glad Mark put that pattern in the magazine. I have been wanting to try it.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
