mrtrim: Thank you!

scott: I have no idea why every one is scared of a good ol’ construction grade 2×4. I have been working with them more than anything else. It don’t have to say Teak, Zebra, Harts, or whatever to me. It is truly amazing what one can create if they just apply them selves.

Great Santa. Carving is nice, painting is well done too !

Thank you Dan. The painting of it was the fun part. Thanks for tooth picks.

Nice little Santa Buckskin! I enjoy doing Santa carvings. There are so many things that you can do with them that no 2 are ever alike. Have you ever tried doing one from a turned blank?

Good Job,I like your paint job

Great job Buckskin. Have you had him out in the cold weather, he looks a little chilled?.

Grumpy we have had an Ice Storm starting Sunday. Now we have a big snow storm blowing in. I would say he is plenty cool.

Thanks for all the great comments. Makes me want to keep after it.

Ho, Ho, Ho, yup, that’s him.

Nice job, Buck! I like his outfit, must be what he wears around his workshop the other 364 days of the year.

Thanks gang!

miles, I got to thinking that on a smaller scale one could make slides for Scout neckerchiefs, pins and broaches. At that scale they could may be qualify for Dan Walters list of ‘projects in a weekend or so’ http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/DanWalters/blog/2339

Nice job.

I like the non-traditional outfit, too.
