Default Weight Watcher Santa...Close Enough
Here is my try at doing the Weight Watcher Santa as featured in the WCI Hand Carved Holiday Gift issue. No as good as the original but I like it. The original was carved from 12" tall stock and mine is from 4". Poor Guy! The wood was so thin on the left hand it broke and had to be glued back 3 times and once on the entire left arm. I was afraid Santa was not going to heal in time to make his rounds this year. Suggestion and comments always welcome. Thanks for looking.

Chuck

Chuck if ya wouldn't have mentioned his hand was broken and three times, no one would have ever known.
Great job Chuck, thanks for sharing he turned out excellent.
