Woodcarving

My son, Caleb, with his 2011 Santa ornament from Uncle Steven

In today's post I wanted to show off some wood carving done by my Dad and my brother. They've been doing it for a while now and are getting pretty good. Every year my brother, Steve Cotton, carves my son a tree ornament for Christmas. Caleb has several now. The photo above is the latest. My dad, Glenn Cotton, carved the wooden cross pendants this year for us. I'm trying to decide what type of necklace cord I want on them. And the final item is a Santa wood cutter hauling home a Christmas tree. My brother carves a Santa of some sort for my mom every year and this is the one for this year. I keep trying to get my brother to open up an on-line shop for his carvings, but he's busy being the voice of the Thundering Herd for Marshall University.
