Thought I better get back to finishing my Santa Project as time is running out. They are made from Basswood and 6" high. Finished with BLO and Thinned down Acrylic Paint. Clear coat with Poly U. Rubbed with Steel Wool and then Feed and Wax. The thing I like about BLO is the skin tone that it gives. Merry Christmas Too All. Smile Merle

Adorable...adorable.... Had to say it twice because first, they are, and second the string wasn't long enough!
