Hand Carved Santa Showroom

My Santas are carved chip by chip using old style hand sharpened tools and carving methods that have not changed much over time. The process is time consuming but the results are rewarding.

You can buy pre-made basswood ‘roughouts’ to save time but I choose to simply buy the wood blocks and pencil in my designs, remove some wood with a larger gouge, pencil in the design again and continue this until I have the basic shape of the hand carved Santa.

By doing my own designs I can create some interesting carvings like a ‘Santa Carving On a Pumpkin’ displayed below.  His robe has a pumpkin patch against a dark night sky with stars.

I have also been carving pumpkins and pumpkin head goblins, one of which can be seen as the watermark image on this webpage.  By far, the most carved subject I have remains the hand carved santas so be sure to view my inventory on my etsy storefront where I am always adding my new designs.
