This fellow has a fancier beard. The picture to the right is the finished and painted carving. It looks like it is a part of the page. (It&#8217;s the one in the middle!) You can can see I made it a bit bigger than the pattern. The second picture is the same background and was made just after I finished the wood carving work. I wasn&#8217;t real happy with the beard lines in the Santa with Christmas Tree carving so for this one I connected up the high speed rotary carving tool I bought last year. It was perfect for carving the lines. A little more practice with my CMT hands and I can start to do finer lines. This looks pretty good though. These are not kits, I started with only the drawing you see in the picture. I band-saw a 3\/4 inch slab of Basswood off a big block I bought, smooth it up and lay out (trace) the carving. I think it is a great way to get started in wood carving.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ramblindan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/santa-0191.jpg\" border=\"1\" alt=\"Santa2 Carving\" width=\"340\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my second carving of the Christmas Santa&#8217;s.
