 Pictures... Finally!! OK! I did it! I posted pictures of my first Santa carvings. I can see much room for improvement, but I am pleased overall, I suppose! (I guess we're never satisfied with ourselves.) Comments/critiques are welcome. I can see things I want to improve, but getting it "etched in wood" is a somewhat different matter! There are some additional pictures in the album. This one is my first!  This one is my second.  ...and my latest, my third...
