Default Mr. and Mrs Claus

Here's a small Cypress knee carving ready to paint. I'm just trying to use up some scraps of pieces lying around the shop.

Pretty good use of "scraps". Love the beard getting involved.

That is Nice! I like the way the beard comes up over Mrs. Claus's shoulder. Really nice and painted, nicer.

The "grain" in the knee is awful nice! Sure you want to paint it? That's a real nice piece. Tom H

Doug, another great carving! I love the idea. I agree, the wood grain is really cool, you may not want to paint it?

I was counting my cypress knees this past weekend and decided that I needed to convert a few as well.

GREAT JOB DOUG ! I like the color in the beard is it bark or stain?

I got a 45 gallon tree plant container of small cypress knees waiting for me to boil them and peel
guess i need to get started on them i was thinking santas and elves out of them but i bet i get boared before i run out of knees
