Default Some more Cotton wood Santa's
I have been carving oraments trying to get ready for a huge Christmas show in November at 75 Chrismas Tree ornaments I decided I needed a break and had a few larger pieces of cottonwood sitting around so I did these carvings they are all about 8 inches high X 4 inches wide X about 2 1/2 inches thick. Too big for ornaments but really fun to do. Dont ask me why I put five Santa's in the first one the wood just spoke to me LOL. BTW I never draw the face on first I just take my knife and parting tool and go for it. These as all of my carvings are knife and chisel no power although I have all kinds of power carving tools just never learned to use them. Thanks for looking
Colin

Those are pretty awesome. The colors explode out of the wood! I especially like that second carving and the way it twists. Very nice.
