Casual Santa Claus

Santa isn’t all about spreading joy and watching the Naughty List.
Sometimes he’s just hanging out. That’s the mood I've tried to capture with this casual Santa.

I've rotated the head on this piece to give it more movement. Because I’ve rotated it so the face aligns with the corner of the blank, it allows me to add lots of depth and dimension to the face.

I also like the fact that I can carvethis piece from a blank without havingto rough it out with a band saw.
Laid-back Santa isn’t checking the Naughty List this year
