Default Using scraps
I carve LOTS of Cypress knees and some are tall and skinny and I have to cut off 2 or 3 inches and instead of tossing them I decided to use the cut-offs.. I made this dozen this weekend and will probably be able to come up with 3 or 4 dozen more before Christmas. I kind of like them because each is different.

Doug,
You have yourself a nice collection of santas there. Not only did you find a good use for your scraps, but you produced a lot of nice santas in a short period of time.

Safe carving and God Bless,

Mark

Oh yes they look wonderful! I spent some time just looking at them all.. upturned noses, big noses, small noses..each uniquely different.

You did good using your 'scraps' like that. Nice nice nice.
