Hand Carved Red Santa W/ Holly Trim From 100 Yr Old Cottonwood Bark:
$43.00

Hello! My Name is Greg Macdonald and I create original hand carved works of Holiday Folk Art!

I have been a full time wood carver for over 20 years. I also sell at art fairs throughout the Midwest. My carvings have found homes in collections in all 50 states and several foreign countries.

This piece is a hand carved red Santa with holly trim from 100 year old cottonwood bark.

The bark of a Cottonwood tree is unique in that it continues to thicken as the tree grows, sometimes 4\" thick and upwards. All the bark I use is gathered from dead trees. All cracks, knots etc... are incorporated into the design to make a truly unique and one of a kind carving!

It is carved in free standing deep relief (flat on the back). This makes it perfect for sitting on shelves and fire place mantels! This piece measures approximately 9.5\" tall by 4\" wide.

He is signed and dated on the back.

I have painted the piece in acrylic and then antiqued it with an oil finish to give it a soft, aged appearance. I leave the backs of my carvings natural so there is no doubt it is a hand carved original....NOT a reproduction!

I share shipping costs on all my sales so shipping is just 4.00 and I will combine items when possible.
