Good Luck to You if you try carving a Santa like this. 
Remember - no two Santas are alike.
No matter how hard you try to make them alike, they will always be unique.
Some of the finer detail in carving a Santa face like this has not been included in this tutorial,
but this gives you the basics so that you can begin to carve your Santa in your own style.
