Smiling Santa...

[Iowa Carver]

Here is another one that I have been working on and just finished up the paint and mounting him. He is from a Wayne Shinliver roughout blank and it's also the one in the current carving magazine. It's a cool Santa pattern I think... that classic Santa look. Anyway, he is about 8 inches tall mounted, painted with acrylics and finished with oil and satin lacquer.

Thanks for looking as always!

Wow... thanks for the kind words. I think it is my favorite of the Santas I have done. One more to paint and get mounted!
