Default A Gaggle of Elves

The 35 elves that are to be picked up today. Sort of hate to see them all go. Looks like we will be suffering from the empty nest syndrome here until I can get some more carved.

Absolutely top notch Millard, I don't know how you can get rid of all of them. Sort of like selling off the kids. Maybe not a bad thing.

Great work and congrats on the article. My first Santa came out ok.

Millard,

Thanks so much for allowing us to take this journey with you as you carved these great elves. Millard you sure set the bar high and I for one would not want it any different. You are a great inspiration to so many of us. Thanks again for sharing. I thought that the individual pictures were great but the group shot is simply amazing.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

I've enjoyed seeing each one as you posted them, but didn't realize how many there were. Thanks for sharing this project with us. These little guys will bring lots of Christmas smiles.
