2025 Holiday Ornaments
Late last night I finished this year's ornaments, Santa on a scroll representing The List. Each August I work out a design and have the blanks cut by Labor Day so I can carve them during Dracut's Old Home Day event in September. This year's event was interrupted by high winds and rain and we were sent home. I didn't get as much done as I hoped and I ran a little bit behind. I was being hard on myself about it, but then I recall that the tradition of trading ornaments with the late M. Paul Ward was started one year when I ran behind and didn't have the ornaments finished until the 23rd. 2025 Eastern White Pine. Polychromed and finished with rub-on polyurethane.
