Santa Gallery 2007
Santa Carving sign by Tim Berry
The subscribers to the several woodcarving listserves were again invited to submit their favorite Santa carving for the 2007 Santa Gallery. The Santa's are as varied as snowflakes, and like their carvers, no two are alike. Enjoy this little early bit of the holiday season!
As in part years, several carvings have been selected as the subjects of the Santa Gallery Toys for Tots fund raiser. The illustrations of these two carvings, by Bill Russell and Jim Willis, are available on greeting and note cards, as well as a small poster. All of the shopkeeper proceeds from the sale of these items will be donated to help kids in need have a better Christmas holiday - for more information see the Santa Cards Fundraiser article in this issue.
