i had these carvings at a craft show. just looking for an honest opinion of the quality of work.

I think the quality of your work is good, nice clean cuts and to me your santa's show confidence in your carving skill. That is my honest opinion.

I agree with Kathy .. They are good ... clean cuts and good facial work ..

Good paint job .. but a antiqueing would help give the faces a little color character ..

icarve,

Great work on the santas. I really like the bald santa with the full beard. Maybe if you could thin out your paint with water it would give them a little more realistic look. Great work though, I really like them!

That is a nice looking bunch of Ho-Ho's! I believe that both Gene & Blake (combined opinions) speak best for my advice... which is to experiment with thinning down your paint then finding the correct "strength" antique wash that compliments your painting.

That's what I'd play around with for this Holly-Jolly season! Thank's for posting!
