Nisse or Tomte

[uvawyo]

The assistant postmaster (if you can believe Glendo population less than 250 needs an assistant postmaster) is of Norwegian extraction and wanted a gift for his mother. So I got out my Harley Refsal book and carved this. My flat plane skills are a bit lacking I am afraid. Phyllis painting skills are still tip top. And she painted him the colors of the Norwegian Flag

Herb, He certainly should certainly be happy with that little fella. Phyllis did a great job painting.
