Way to go Mark. Your Santa is a real winner. Then again I like all your carvings. Will you be at the Dayton show? Would like to meet the man behind such great carvings.

Mark, I just saw that you won the Santa contest!! How thrilled you must be and it is certainly deserved. He's just wonderful! I saw him originally in Carving Magazine and the one thing I admire about your Santas, besides the superb carving skill, is the expressions you achieve on those faces.....they have a gentle, sensitive quality about them that is just fabulous. I was thrilled to meet you last week, Mark, and congratulations on all that you've achieved! Well deserved!! Bonnie
