"Patriotic Santa" Bark Carving - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

12-18-2004, 08:48 PM

I just completed a special Xmas piece to give to my brother who has over 25+ years in the US Army, so I did this up during the week and am sending it out today for him hang up during the Xmas season.

For those interested, I posted a pic in the Holiday album.

Hope you enjoy, face is a little dark for a Santa, but thats the shade of this particular piece of bark from Montana.

Nice carving Bill!

Bill as usual you are like wine and cheese you get better with age. Another wonderful carving. Your brother will love it what a great carving for a member of the army to have hanging in his place on Christmas day. Again a fantastic carving my prayers go out to your brother and all the members of the military where ever they are at this time of the year may god keep them safe.

Thanks guys for your kind words......Believe me when I say, that my inspiration comes from seeing all our other members carvings, I have learned so much from this board it hard to explain. So I hope that by posting some of my carvings, others maybe inspired and together we end up helping each other learn a little bit more. Coffeeman
