Default Santa Ornament from Mark Akers roughout

I purchased this roughout from Mark at the Charlotte show and have finally gotten around to carving in the details. I plan on painting it this weekend, but I thought I would share the work in progress. Those sure are great roughouts!

I'm going to have you email me every couple of days, and remind me to start my Christmas carvings. Looks good and glad you're thinking along those lines.

Here he is painted! I had a chance to get some painting done tonight and went ahead and finished it. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again Mark for supplying the roughout! Never too early to start on Santa! Will finish him off with a couple of coats of deft spray and put a tree hanger on him.
