I've made a grand total of 31 of these guys as of now. I've given 8 away already. There are 23 on my fridge. I'm not done yet either. I plan to make enough to give one to every one of my friends and family for the holidays.
Critique and comment welcome.

Jim, Don't worry bout the number of the wizards you have carved. I'll send you information about WCA. That's an organization for those of us who keep on carving wizards (Wizard Carvers Anonymous). We don't meet, we just carve and whittle the Wizards. Looks to me like you're already modifying them to achieve varying and different looks. That's great! A few more minor modifications and they become Santa's. And they certainly are fun arn't they? Great job! Keep on going, and keep on posting photos.

Thanks Forrest, Tom and Catbird.
Yea Tom, you've created quite an addictive little method here. I do at least 2 or 3 in the evening almost every night. I started out taking about 40 minutes to make one. I've got it down to just over 20 minutes. What have you done to me? Lol. I love it. Thanks Tom.
Jim

It looks like you are in serious trouble there! I'm not sure you can recover from this addiction. But since you have to carve them (to keep your addiction fed) isn't it nice that you are doing such a nice job on them. Watch out because next it will be Santas.
