Amazing work. Great Job, boy do I have a ways to go....

I am a little disturbed at the question mark next to my name on Santa's list though.

Hi Mike , Great Carving as always . You called him a Big Santa but you didn't say how Big . Merle

Superb one there, Mike. I particularly love the beard and hair, lots of movement in them. They flow in a great pattern.

Most excellent, as always!

I completed painting this guy last night and i think he turned out pretty good. Not as good as the original by Harold Enlow, but I knew that wasn't very likely. But I still enjoy carving his rough outs and I learn quite a bit from each one and hopefully something will rub off one of these days. I did open his eyes up a bit, although they are still a little squinty. I was trying a technique that Vic Hood mentioned for making a happy eye. At least I'm happy! Thanks for looking!
