Default Flat plane Santa
Here's a first attempt at a Santa in the flat plane style. Very hard to resist the urge to round off the facets!

From a basswood roughout, about 6" high. Painted in acrylics by Mrs Scooter.

Great Santa Scooter! Nice clean cuts and wonderful paint job... super job for a first time Santa...but someone should have warned you first...carving Santa's is addictive...you won't be able to stop with just one! Ha! Thanks for sharing him with us and safe carving to you.

Scooter,
Hats off to both you and Mrs. Scooter. The carving and the painting are both just right. If Mrs. Scooter ever needs some more carvings to paint she can have some of mine. Thanks for sharing.

Safe carving and God Bless,

Mark
