Standing Santa Type - A

Well, the Christmas and Holiday season will be here again this year.  Here's a small project that can be completed with just a pocket knife.  This is a pattern modified from a carving that I purchased from Floyd Rhadigan a few years ago. 

Trace the pattern onto a 1 inch thick piece of Basswood, and cut the blank out.

This pattern design can be adjusted to carve a wizard, with a walking staff too.

The next few posts will address the carving/whittling of this piece.
