Default Some Simple Santas...
I had a few blocks of cut off ends of basswood so I made a few quick Simple Santas for gifts. They are finished in light acrylic washes, dipped in BLO, sprayed with Deft satin, smoothed out with some fine steel wool then flooded with 50/50 mix Watco dark and light wax with the excess wiped off before getting buffed with a soft shoe brush. And yes one is unfinished because I want you guys to suggest how you would like to see him finished! I'll choose the suggestion that intrigues me the most and post him when I'm done. Get those suggestions coming so I can dress him for Christmas!

I tried one of those Santas from that pattern last year. Yours turned out way better than mine. The green looks really sharp. Good job.
