  3. I found you through the Woodcarving Illustrated Forum (which I joined last night.)

    I was surprised to see your "candy cane santa". It turns out that is the only carving I did from that issue, and my didn't turn out as nicely as yours. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the inspiration and I'll see you around the Forum!
