My Favorite Store The Woodcraft Shop

 
They have been business for 31+ years with excellent Customer Service.
Wood carvers trusted partner for 31+ years

Hey!  Looking for a trusted business to buy your supplies?  Well I'm going to let you know about my favorite store!  The Woodcraft Shop
When I first started carving this was my first carving store I went too.  Had no idea what I was doing or what I needed and I'm so thankful I went to the Woodcraft Shop.  The customer service was excellent they helped me understand and guided me on what I needed and did not need.
I still order from them and find calling them that the Customer Service is the same as when I went there in person.
Also, this is just not for carving supplies they have so much more.  When I played with paper mache I found that some of my bits I use for wood carving work with paper mache. 
Here are the links to check them out!

Santa WIP’s

Working on some more Santa’s! 
First one is the most exciting to me!  The two pieces of found wood just seemed right from the get go even before I start to clean them up before carving.  This is a once in life time I pick out two pieces and it comes together just as I envisioned it.
Second Santa is the wood mallet from a potato ricer; I found this gem on one of my trips.  Has anybody ever used one of these?  I never have and since I carved a Santa out of the mallet I probably never will!
This is a group of Santa’s that are ready to be sealed up.
Well that’s it for now.  Have a great week and happy creating!
