Custom "Satan Claus" finished

Here they are finished and ready for shipping. More tricksterish than demonic I think, which I think is what was wanted. They're twin brothers; daddy was a devilish type but momma was not so bad. Now I'll have to carve some angels to make up for this !! ...

Teufelsgeige Heads

A customer in Kansas asked me to make 2 heads for a teufelsgeige. The goal was to make a devil's head that also is a Santa Claus. Not too scary but hopefully edgy enough to fit the purpose. Here they're almost ready for painting. Hope he likes them. Everyone I've told about this has expressed horror and disbelief that anyone would want something like this but I like it. Something out of the ordinary to carve is always fun and challenging. Merry Christmas.
