Default Santa Ornament

Howdy All,

Here is a pic of a Santa ornament that I carved. It is based on an ornament in the holiday carving issue I think, I cant remember the name bit it is from a WCI magazine. I think I am going to do a few to give out as gifts this year. Let me know what you think, any advice is welcome. Thanks for taking a peek.

You did a great job carving him. Natural or paint?

Excellent!
If you leave it natural, maybe put pupils in the eyes.
