3-hour tour... I mean class...

[scooter]

I've been recruited to teach a 3-hour session at an upcoming carving rendezvous. But I can't think of _what_ the project will be. I'll have ten or so students, with varying degrees of experience. The project will need to be able to be finished in 3 hours (or be able to finish it up at home). I'll be supplying the wood blanks/cutouts. Typically, they're on the smallish size for cost and transportability reasons, mostly.

They only thing that's coming to mind is an ornament of some kind (probably Santa, since that's what I do mostly).

Does anyone have any suggestions for what other projects we might try in this 3-hour timeframe? It doesn't need to be Christmas or Santa related. Any suggestions and pointers to patterns or pictures are greatly appreciated!

How about an Uncle Sam figurine? July is just around the corner. Fox Chapel has a carving book on just Uncle Sams.

Or a walking stick topper?
