Default My first Santa
Friends have been asking why I haven't done any Santas, well there wasn't any real reason, so I decided to attempt one in a small scene, a bit late for this Christmas, but anyway here he is all ready for next year...lol
Hope all my carving friends had the kind of Christmas that you dream of.
Regards
John

Wow John, It looks like it is nickel and diming you to death buying all of that carving wood. Hope Santa brought you some for Christmas.

Good job, Tom

Thanks Tom & Doug for your interest, believe it or not, I do carve normal sized subjects, but I like these little folk 'cause I can carry the wood and a knife in my pockets and use them to fill time waiting for my wife at the doctor or shops and the chips are so small no one notices <grin>
Thanks again
John
