Default John Deere Santa

My niece has been asking for a santa for a couple of years,and I finally got to doing one for her.She has recently married a large grain farmer in central Illinois,so thus became the "John Deere Santa".

Great carving - like his beard. The strips on his shirt adds a nice look.
