Default The WCI Flat-Plane Holiday Santa
I tried this little flat plane santa but, somewhere along the way, I lost the flat plane in it. I think what happened was, I didn't stop carving soon enough. Oh well, old habits are hard to break. Sure was fun to do though. Try, try again...

I decided to put a hatchet in his hand instead of a walking stick.

Being the old geezer that I am, I usually don't say things like this, "He is cute", but he is. Well done and I like you choice of colors on him. Just sets him off. Definitely a keeper to be proud of.

Default Nice job Sam...
The one I started ended up as a piece of designer firewood. Just can`t get the flatplane thing down. You did a wonderful job even though you got away from it..Thanks for sharing...Bruce

Sam, that's a good looking Santa. I don't think I've seen one with a hatchet before.
