KAW VALLEY WOODCARVING SEMINAR

6
Carving the Santa Face Ornament
"Oh What Fun
It Is to Carve
With a Group of Wood Carvers!"
6
I am proud to be a member of the Kaw Valley Woodcarvers in Topeka, Ks. and I enjoyed being their teacher for the April 18th and 19th Santa Carving Class.
There were 13 in the class and they were a very talented and fun group to work with.
6
The class was held at Carlin Honaker's Studio where many carving sessions are held for the Kaw Valley Woodcarving Club.

A special Thanks to Wanda Potter
for organizing the Woodcarving Class.
She certainly had everything ready for me
to start the classes.
Thank You Wanda!

Some of the Santa Ornaments before
they were painted.

Great Santa Faces!
They certainly have captured my style of carving eyes. Whew! That is scary!

The Crucifix itself was carved from Basswood.
The Cross was Poplar.
I textured it with a gouge
and then stained and sealed it.
I finished it with a coat of polyurethane.
