Default Two Ribbons

These two both took 2nd place at the Omaha show this year. Log Santa was form a chainsaw "roughout" by a friend of mine, Jim Clark from IA. the Elf was my own design. Just thought I'd share. Also met some folks in person that I've only talked to on the board. All in all a good time and made some sales.
