| | It took long enough but it's finished! After months of working on this Santa , I finally finished it... The Santa and feeder were carved by me.. My son Johnny carved the rabbit and Curtis had the squirrel and deer about done, but I had to do the faces, ears and shape up the legs some, so I guess you could call this one a family affair! I used Hugh's idea for the sawdust on the base and added some cottonwood bark for wood on the forest floor. I know Lynn my hands won't even start to compare with your carvings but I tried .....as this is my second pair of hands.
I don't know why one picture turned out with a yellow cast . Now ..please let me do some things ..just for fun. Charlotte |

The hands are, in my poor humble opinion  , just right for the rest of the figure. The painting is outstanding - along the lines to which I aspire, but will probably never achieve. The carving of the face is also great - looks to have good proportions and properly rounded. My vote is for the blue ribbon!
