4)      I took from Ben Cash, and kept alternating through the years to make it my own.
5)      Ditto
6)      My own design
7)      (back) From the Shawn Cipa book
8)      From the Shawn Cipa web site
9)      From the Pete LaClair pattern

Happy Christmas Eve everyone. Here is a tree topper I just finished carving and painting. I need to figure out a connection system so it would stay on top of the tree. I think he is pretty happy that it’s Christmas Eve.

Here’s a chef Santa Lynne created from a cut out someone sold, was bad wood and decided to try and create something different. I think it turned out great.

I like to start carving the bark outer shell with a ground down steak knife. There are partials of sand on the outside shell you don’t want to ding up you favorite knife with.

The National Hockey League may be on strike, but the North Pole League is still in its first season. Santa may be too big to be a forward, but he does his share.
