Default Christmas is for the birds!
Attached is what remains of the ornaments I carved this year.
I started out with 10 but after one for each grandchild and one for the ornament exchange at the carving club, 3 are left. The Santa is for my daughter whom we are staying with for a while after the major house fire on Nov 10th.

I took the idea for the chickadees from a WCI pin and expanded them to two sides. They are carved from Butternut and finished with Krylon.

I usually make around 20 ornaments but this year I've had a few other things on my mind.

You did real good there on the birdies and especially on the Santa. He has a great expression.
