Thank you Pat!

[@daryldawe3943]

This is a great video! Thanks for the time.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Daryl!

[@chablispark]

Great video Alec. May I suggest that you have the finished carving in the background as you carve the similar one. Just saying.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Good thought!

[@jefferytjader6508]

I wonder if I could do Santa and his Mrs. Back to back on one block of wood.

[@MichelleOhio]

Need you to compare "whittling" vs "wood carving" for us. I call it carving, not whittling, but you do you!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I guess they are the same thing! I just think of whittling as knife only!

[@thesomersetwhittler]

Another great one Alec 👍🏻 think your spending too much time with that linker chap though 😂

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Hahah! Probably so! I told him the other day his sayings keep accidentally coming out during these.

[@thesomersetwhittler]

@@AlecLaCasseArt 😆 yes I noticed 👍🏻 loving your take on these projects

[@randallhackworth421]

15 minutes in, and I’m looking up to find out her name is Jessica Kringle according to the 1970 cartoon Santa Clause. Unfortunately from Saint Nicholas to Oden, none of the legends show a wife until a book written in The 1940s Where she was given the name Gertrude Sorry, my curiosity got a hold of me.

[@gizzardpuke4056]

I use sand paper quite often too , sometimes it's just the right thing to do 🤫🤔

[@susanwoodcarver]

You guys think this Mrs. Claus video is good...sign up for Alec's "Carving a Female Face" work shop. Worth every penny!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks Susan!

[@Rigus208]

Nice job ,Ty for sharing. Her name is Holly or Mother Christmas . Alec go to the dollar store get a ruler to fit the carving ,so we can see it better ,your camera is a little too far , hard too see your detail talent . Love the carving .👍😇🇺🇸

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Will do! Thanks!

[@gizzardpuke4056]

I think you're amazing with the skill you have , I would love to learn how you carve the carictarisics of an individual , something I can't do . Or know what to look for in a face .

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

thanks a lot !!

[@stantilton2191]

Mrs. Clause is Bertha.

[@udayapushpakumara7225]

[@MattCarves]

Great video. 👍 grey hair rocks, until it started growing out of my ears

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

LOL, Thanks!!

[@nikkismith3715]

Google says her first name is Gertrude... ???

[@user-ri7up1we4r]
