Ekern Santas

 These I carved from a pattern in Gerald Ekern's book.  I like the design and they were fun to do.   The book I bought on Ebay and my friend Jack forwarded it from the US.

  Just now I'm doing a clean up of bits left from previous carvings .   The other source is almost finished carving, one's I should have finished but did n't.

  I'm told there's a saw mill nearby which sells limewood so I'm going to chack it out .

  Maissee behaves better at the Saturday class .  Each time she showed aggression I corrected her.  Better than the previous week but a long way to go.  We just hope this socializing works.  Having a dog on a lead all the time is not something I want.
