This is from the Shawn Cipa design published a few 
years back. It's still pretty close to his, with a different paint job, and the 
beard carved a little more. It's one of those patterns I've always wanted to try 
and I decided to just make a little time for it. My wife started dropping hints 
that she might want to keep it, before it was even completed! Thanks for 
looking! 
Annual Christmas Carving Class

Each year about this time the Utah Valley Wood Carving Club invites me to 
teach a 2-day Christmas carving class.   Once again I had a good time with 
my car...

I especially like the "animatronic" aspect of the project. Are the blue patterned pieces covered with gift wrap or something else?
ReplyDeleteNope! Everything is painted. I justed painted a snowflake pattern all over it.
