Default Another Santa Ornament how-to!

Here's a link to a tutorial I did on my version of Don Worley's "no-see-um" Santa.
It's laid out in three different parts that you can go to after clicking the links at the top of this first page. "Carving a Santa Ornament" #1: Starting out - by mpounders @ LumberJocks.com ~ woodworking community

Thanks for looking! Comments or critiques welcomed, especially on whether it was a good tutorial? Like, is there enough information? too much?
