Santa Jim's Carving Gallery
Here are some of Santa's carvings . . .

Magnolia In Bloom
This magnolia is carved from a wood called 'tupelo' which comes from the swamps ofLouisiana. This wood is extremely tough and can be carved very thin to create the delicate leaves and petals of the magnolia.
Rustic Sun
This beautiful sunflower was designed for a client displaced during the Katrina storm in New Orleans. Her hobby is growing beautiful sunflowers and wondered if I could create a lasting thing of beauty for her. Here is the result.
Cougar On Rocks
This cougar was carved from one piece of basswood. The fir is created using carving methods along with woodburning. All my carvings are hand painted.
Cowboy
This guy was carved from basswood. It's a bit whimsical and looks like he had a rough day ... or night.

Olds 442
This was carved from basswood. It was carved for the daughter of this man who has a prize Olds 442 and given to him for Christmas.

Dolphins
This was carved from mahogany and attached to a piece of driftwood.
