Christmas Carvings 2016

Now that all the Christmas gifts have been handed out, I want to share the rest of my carvings from this year. The two Santa's are from a pattern by Susan Hendrix, in Wood Carving Illustrated magazine. When I cut them out on the bandsaw, I left the base on one. The other I mounted on the base after I carved him.
The star ornaments' were based on the glass blown ornaments of Christmas' long ago.

Elves Workshop at the Nature Center

Here's a few photos of yesterday's event at Martha Lafite Nature Sanctuary. Huge crowds,
I sold a few carvings and it wouldn't Christmas at the nature center without a snake.

Last Sale of 2016

One last carving sale before Christmas! They had to reschedule because of the ice and snow last weekend. I will be demonstrating and selling woodcarvings this Friday from noon til 5 PM. There is also a store for children to buy gifts for their parents. See ya there!

Christmas Craft Fair 2016

Had a good day yesterday at the first Christmas Craft Fair in Kearney Missouri. We made some new friends and sold some carvings. Made our booth money back and a good profit. Thanks to the wife for my new fancy table cover. I'm pretty sure she bought a birdhouse from Santa Claus. I have one more show before Christmas. I'll be at Martha Lafite in Liberty Missouri on December 17 & 18.
