Fourth time’s the charm. 168 pieces of maple and walnut. 6" tall and 3" wide. Each Snowman is 3/4" tall. I had fun with the piercings, they are all different.

That's amazing. Are the snowman arms on the piercings inlay or is that just the lighting?

Thanks for your comments. Dave, I used my Turbo Carver with a dental bit for the hats and arms. Then a 1/8" Dremel bit for the bodies. Since it took 4 tries I would estimate 40 -50 hours. But who's counting? I do it for the fun and challenge.

Great work Walt!

The most important thing may very well be that you finished it before Christmas... Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Walt,

Like everyone else, I'm amazed by your work. It's wonderful! One question, where would someone hang it?
