My wife was getting ready to pack this away tell next year. I thought I would take a picture and share it. The carving is a cypress knee, the base I turned out of butternut.

It will take me about 2 to 4 days to do the carving and a day to paint it. this one was about 3 days. I do a lot cypress knee carving with Power tools. Cypress knees are very strange to work with, there can be big changes in density and texture. Detail I use carving knifes.

Very nice. Great job, but uh, don't let my wife see it. She'll be saying, hey, you have all that expensive Shopsmith equipment, why can't you make one...
Terrific talent you have.

I envy people with artistic talent because I have none. Very nice looking Santa.
I second TDUBNIK's comments.
Though my father was an artist, I don't seem to have inherited his talents.
Great Job!
