Default Western Santa Claus

Charlie Wendt stopped by on his way to his Granddaughters wedding...he gave me a Western Santa cutout and I am having a hard time figuring what the finish carving is supposed to look like? Charlie is still on the road so can't ask him..anyone seen one of these?

Hi Ho,
Is he the Santa that has a cowboy hat and suspenders with thumbs hooked in them--and cowboy boots? About 8-10 inches tall? If so, I think I still have the pattern and perhaps even the how to that was in the BH&G Wood Magazine and book about 8-9 years ago.

If it sounds like the same design, let me know and I'll photocopy it this week and can mail it to you.

Hi Ho
I can't believe you don't know what a Texas Santa looks like. He has a ten gallon elf hat..black beard and handlebar mustache...and spurrs that gingle jangle gingle. He drives a chevy truck with a gun rack in the rear window to hang his toys on and it is pulled by eight longhorns. When he leaves you can hear him say 'Merry Christmas ya'll, and to all a good shut eye.

Hi Ho Silver-----well, I thought it would be a challenge when I presented it to you. Actually it aint all that difficult. I carved one with the hat brim so low in front you couldn't see the 'ol boys' eyes. Then raised the front of the hat and you could see the eyes on the second one. His hat is red, and his little ball is ivory, beard is white as is the hair. Blue eyes go good. You can just take your knife and start cuttin' and see what turns out. And by the way I'd like the pattern of the Western Santa with the suspenders and about 8 or so inches tall. Someone said they would send me or you or somebody a copy. Would love it. Dave have a good day and I'll look forward to seeing your fine results of the Santa. charlie........ :

Thanks Charlie, started on the Santa yesterday, kind of filling in with him when I get tired of working on this place! Anyway...he will be different I think that what you intended, but we will see how it turns out...Donna is sending me a copy of the other Santa and I will send a copy on to you when I get it....have a great day, and it was very nice meeting you in person!! Glad you had a safe trip!
