I'm always impressed with how clean your carvings look in each stage. Very nice Santa.

Yes Mark it is one of my originals,although I will say that your
santa was some of the impression on
the long stocking hat.

Mark that is going to be one amazing Santa I saw your last project and I was very impressed I am sure that this one will be just as good. Being a Santa collector I cant wait to see the finished product.

Mark,

Really looks nice. I agree with an earlier comment - very crisp, clean lines and cuts so early in the process....very impressive.

The shape and proportion of the head and face is really nice. You should do a step by step for us!

Mike

That is a good job, I've tried to do that and can't. Easier said than done. Nice work.
