Default Ornament carving challenge (pics added)

Here's the deal. We had lots of snow last night and I have 2 pork butts on the smoker. I'm going to start a Gargac Santa in a few minutes and see how long it actually takes me to finish it up to the painting stage.

I'll keep you posted.

Scott

Oh yeah!!!!!

A pic of the butts, just to make you drool.

What a fun project. I really appreciate all of the great carvers who take the time to share their ideas with the carving world.

I'll post a pic after I get it painted.

good idea on your tool holder, I did something similar but I didn't use the tray out of my tool box......I did however add a piece of clear plexiglass to the front, because I was sure I would get the bright idea to reach in and sweep the chips from under it with my hand and get caught on the end of the tools! LOL

Looking good so far... you know, those hog butts of course! Oh yeah, the santa's looking good too. So, that was about 3 hours to complete the challenge but without the hog distraction factor I bet you could have got closer to 2 hours.

Looking forward to the painted pictures!
