Default Unfinished Santa (Cottonwood bark)

I was hoping to get this done before Santa came but not going to make it. Still have work to do on tassel and intend to wood burn areas. Had a devil of a time getting his eye balls looking at the tassel. Can you tell?

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO ALL CARVE TIGHT

Nice Work. I think you captured the eyes looking right at the tassel. I dont see how it could be any better.

Very clever and yes I sure can tell he's looking at the tassel. Super carving.
Merry Christmas to you too,
Kathy

Put a smile on my face and that's good. The eyes are good as is the whole carving. Would like to see it when finished. Very nice, I like it. Merle
