This hand carved Santa is small in stature, measuring approximately 2" wide and 4 3/4" tall. (4 1/2cm x 12cm) but is big on decorating appeal.

I hand carved him from a Cypress Knee, which is part of the root system of the Cypress tree, found in swamps of the south.

He has great carved details such as his eyebrows, grooves in his mustache and beard and even the little crow that is in his arms.

After carving the many details I painted him with acrylic paints, adding his sparkly blue eyes and lots of color.
I then sealed, antiqued, signed and dated, and sealed one last time for years of enjoyment.

Designed and created by me without patterns.
As in nature each Cypress knee is unique,and since my carvings are made by hand, no two carvings will ever be exactly the same.

This is a special collectible for any age, although it definitely isn't a toy.
