Frosted-Over Santa Series

2007

 

As a woodcarver it seems as though many thoughts can go through my mind while I am carving.
I will be carving one item and at the same time be thinking of the next project I would like to create.
Two of my woodcarving brainstorms at this time are
Christmas Ornaments and Emporia's 150 years celebration.

 

(You can view the Emporia's 150 years by clicking on "Emporia 150 Years" at the bottom of the Contact.)

 

Christmas Ornaments are always in demand, so this is why I created

The 2007 Santa Ornament - "Frosted-Over Santa"

Each Santa was different, but they will all have glasses that have frosted over
because of his wild Christmas Eve ride delivering presents through a stormy
Christmas Evening and Christmas Morning.
Although his glasses are all frosted over he is still going strong
and he is already looking forward to next year.
The Santa's were numbered and have a Certificate of Authenticity.

Below is each Santa as they were ordered and carved.

(The dimensions are the size of the block of wood before the Santa was carved.)
