Here is my fun Santa. I started out with a Jon Nelson roughout and the basswood was a pleasure to carve, so it was a fun Santa. My picrtures are not good at all and I tried twice today but the colors aren't true to the painting. The dogs head is rust not Yuckie orange.. The Mother Raccoon's head is not that big but the camera blew it up.. I have got to get a new camera and quit talking about it..Cutis carved the dog and the Mother raccoon and I carved the rest. The bucket is a little bought bucket with some carving around the bucket. I took a long stick and carved the baby raccoon's head which made it easy to hold and then cut it off. Everything is pegged in but the baby raccoon and I couldn't get a drill in there so I put a lot of glue in there. I messed up on the last message but am trying agan..Charlotte

Thank you Gene . I just can't figure why unless it is sized too big even though I have it 480x640..I guess I will have to try and post it on the Picture Trail Site.. Charlotte
