thanks for the welcome. I didn't carve a Santa (yet), I was referring to the online interactive Santa from Wordcarving Illustrated. (Sorry about the confusion).
I've only completed a few woodcarvings, and each time I see a more experienced carver's work, the less I think I've learned anything about carving. But I will keep trying, and one day, maybe, I will be able to say, "I am a woodcarver".

thanks everyone for the nice welcomes. makes me feel good to know that i've got 'help' out there in Internetland in case (and this will be often than not) i mess up. I'm working on a "dog" german shepherd but i want to customize it to look like an akita/chow/shepherd mix (talk about ambitious) I already cut off his foot, and then cut away too much of his snout. another carver helped me by suggesting wood filler in the "missing parts" (ha ha) - every time i pick my doggie up to look at him, i want to put him away again. but, i will persevere and hopefully, by next year, i will complete my carving.

Try some Quick Wood it seems to work pretty well, fills in a lot od voids.
