Question Santa bark carving
Hello,

I've done a few Santa cottonwood bark carvings and I would like to do some more. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good book or video that shows (step by step) how to carve a Santa (not just a woodspirit) in bark?

Thanks,

Chipper67

Rick Jensen's book "Carving Tree Bark" has a few Santas in it, but he doesnt show a step by step of it. "Carving Found Wood" by Vic Hood and Jack Williams has a step by step for a mountain man which could very easily be made into a Santa.

Both of those are great books and I agree that the mountian man could very easily be a Santa. The only difference is in the hat.

John,
I see by your Picrure trail album you have a lot of unfinished carvings. Just like my bench . You are doing very good for only 3 years of carving . Keep up the good work. I see you have a picture of yourself in the album. Mind if I add it tothe WCI album I am working on?
Don

Don by the lake,

I'm actually already in your album. I think it's the tenth picture from the bottom. It is of me and my wife and our two children. We're sitting on our fireplace at Christmas time. But if you want a different picture you sure can use it.

Hi John,

Long time no type!

I just looked through your picture trail again. Yes, your doing very nice work and quite a bit of it!!!

Keep it up.

Wish you could join our club here in SF, but I understand it is a ways for you to travel. Keep us in mind for the fair again as well as the Christmas show.

Thanks John,
Sorry about that. I do remember your picture. My memory is the second thing I have lost. Can't remember what the first was!Talking
What is important is I can still carve. Actually I am not that old. Just sounds like it huh? I have only done one Santa on bark and it came out pretty fair. It was the only time I ever painted a bark carving.

Thumbs up Re: Santa bark carving
Don,

That is a great Santa bark carving. If I could do one half that good I'd be happy.
