Default Started A new Santa today.

I know, I haven't been around much and I won't make any excuses or tell any lies. Anyway I was up the lumber yard last week and I seen this log and I just had to have it. You ever look at something and immediatly see the carving in it, well that is exactly what happened with this piece. Hauled it to the shop and got started today. Everyone in the neighborhood is wondering what I am up to! Well as my wife says I'm Carving a Santa as big as me.
