Here’s Santa just bidding his time by fiddling away. I guess that elves got everything under control – at least for now.

We’re drawing in the apples and carving out the cape. I know it’s September, but Saint Nicolas is thinking about December sixth.

Here is another version of my Abe Lincoln carvings. The hat top is a separate piece. His right arm is on his back.

It’s caramel apple season. Here is another version of lengthening Apple. I carved a stick, carve the hole on top. This time he was dumped in a vat of hot sticky caramel. Not really, just paint him with a dark brown and double sprayed with deft. Now he is ready for the autumn season.

Well, the weather is getting a little nippy here in Minnesota. Gone are the days of 100+ weather and now some of the leaves are starting to fall from the trees. Furthermore, to is the season to see Halloween stuff that the department stores with at least one row of Christmas cards, tree stands, and Christmas lights. With that, I am starting a new series carving St. Nicholas which is one of my patterns from my vintage Santa carving book. Hope you will enjoy this one.

Last weekend was Grand Rapids Minnesota’s Goods from the Woods show. I consider that show as the kick-off of the Holidays Arts and Crafts pre-season. So to start things off for the up-coming season, here is a familiar figure for those who enjoy the Christmas holiday favorite’s movie – The Christmas Story. Here is poor Ralphie stuck wearing his Christmas present from his aunt who can’t remember that Ralph is a boy and not a girl. Oh, well Ralph, you’ll get your Red Rider Action Shot BB Gun (with the Cumberland stock) shortly. (You put BB holes in those PJs, just don’t let you mother find out).

To answer a comment on how I clean up my carvings to finish the carvings as I’ve been preaching at the end of my videos, I have (attempted) to create a short video to demonstrate that process. Hope this video would help show you my process on cleaning up the finished carving.

I thought I’d take a break while getting ready to queue up the next round of wood carving. In the mean time, I thought I’d show some of the wood carvings done here in Minnesota at our state fair. I put some carvings in too, got some blue and red ribbons, but none on those I thought deserved something. Any ways, I won’t cry or blame the judges, yet. Here is quite a variety of different wood carving in wood working.
