I am ready a book on communication & it fits here pretty good.
I haven't carved a pickle Santa  But I want to see yours.
It's  not even a Santa really.
The pattern is in carving illustrated # 24   fall 2003
It's a Nisse   (with a very nice article about them too)
But some say he is a distant relative or a Santa-
they are a gnome like figure.
The pickle is really a stain--  it's called pickling
it give a very light white letting the wood show-  want it darker use more 
coats
mine is so old that it comes out a strong white 1st coat now..
The print was an ornament to be carved on 1 side --I did it in the round
simple but any one liking Christmas carvings is a good one to do.
I have even done a couple of the cane exchanges this time with his picture.
Thanks for asking.

  Reverend Michael Wilcox:

  I received the Santa ornament that you sent for the W3E Exchange.  I
  remember seeing the pattern that you spoke of and think you did a fine job
  on the carving.  It has to be the first carving that I have ever received
  with a pickled wood beard.  I've never done the pickling process before and
  was wondering how difficult it is.  It looked good on the carving.

  As you can probably figure by looking at my web pages, I'm a Santa Clause
  type of guy.  I leave my small Christmas Tree with wood carved ornaments 
out
  all year.  It just changes its place of prominence in the Christmas Season.
  I will put a hanger on the little fellow and display him proudly.

  By the way, Mike drop me a private note at Woodcarver at midmo.com if you 
have
  time.  I'd like to send you a private thanks and don't have your email
  address.  I'll be at the above address until Friday.  At that time I'm
  changing servers and going to a cable provider.

  Thanks much!

  Loren Woodard
