Default Gettin' cranked up now!
I'm finally starting to get some carving done. It's been a slow summer for me with too much going on with life but I've started on Christmas gifts for this year.

Here's one I just finished.

He's about 14" tall. By the way, he's the first with my new Chinese tools I got for Christmas last year.

Enjoy!

Very nice carving Scott. His finish gives him an aged antique look.

That's a nice looking Santa. Lots of facial expression and details. Well done.
