Default Pattern for Old World Santa

I thought I would share my pattern for my old world Santa I posted in the Character carving section.

I draw half of the Santa directly on the corner of the wood as shown. I trace it onto tracing paper and flip it over to draw on the backside of the paper onto the wood.

ed are the finished Santa's in two different sizes.

Let me know if you need a tutorial posted with step by step pictures of the carving.

Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Wanda - those are just as cute - and special - as they can be. I find them quite inspiring.
