I have been carving for over 13 years and showing at woodcarving shows and galleries for the past six years. I have always loved Santa and my goal is to combine a loving face and wonderful beard with a rich gown or costume. The animals that gather by Santa and his gifts reflect his loving and whimsical nature. Each piece takes a few weeks to finish, some longer and a few less than that. The primary wood I use is Basswood from the Linden tree and the paint is acrylic. One thing I always try to do is complete the entire piece out of a single piece of wood, and hide things in the carving for people to find later... My favorite comment is when people say they never put my Santas away after the holiday. They become a part of the family and their home. My pieces are in private collections throughout the U.S. and Canada.
