While I do not consider myself a real “Santa Carver”, I have gotten into the habit of doing a Christmas themed project each year. This is typically the only project in which I plan to make more than one. I alway keep one, the others always seem to find their way into other households.
I truly enjoy the act of Whittling and never want to risk the enjoyment I get from it by making it a job. Eventually these little carvings do accumulate so I will sell/dispurse some to make room for the next batch.
All four stand 4 inches tall, carved from basswood. Hand painted using acrylic paint and finished with a hand rubbed beeswax paste.
