Hello and thanks for the comments!
Marci I love your branch carvings, neat looking fish and bear.
Mark not sure what all of them are, two are Scyamore, one maybe maple, the red looking one might be wild cherry. not sure what Confederate Rose is?

Gary,
Your faces have gotten so much more detailed and smooth since I first saw you post your earlier branch santas. I hope you are noticing the differences as well.
It is so cool to see folks improve so much in such a quick amount of time. The different kinds of wood bring out different effects too.
I hope you'll post them when they are finished as well.
Thor

Gary, As usual, you done great. Like the Santa looking on and the short 'tash. Actually, I like them all even the one that you have blacked out.

Marci, Super pan fish and the bear, well, he looks like he was up to something for sure.

Great carvings folks, Keep it up.
