If you will get a bottle of Liquin Original by Windsor and Newton and mix it with your oil paints it will be dry in time for Christmas.

Thank you for the nice comments ,

Keoma , Santa's are fun because you can take then to so many different places , nothing is ever incorrect , makes them perfect to carve. Although I do have one that is almost wrong ... Pegleg Santa ..

Thanks again , now to look for something I don't normally read..... hummmm the life and times of J Edgar Hoover ......
