Santa Claus is coming to town

[Bill WIlson]

I've amassed a veritable army of pallet wood Santas.

World domination is within my grasp.

So that is how he fits down the chimney.  He splits into 6 Santa's. 

 Nice and cute projects. 

 

Is that a long mustache?

Let's just call it facial hair.

I saw something similar at a craft fair a couple months ago.  Even though I usually don't do a lot of Santa themed projects, I thought that one was unique and it struck my fancy, for some reason.  I should've taken a picture.  A couple weeks later, a bunch of long, rough sawn pine 1x6's appeared in the scrap pile at work.  This project came to mind as the perfect use for them, so I salvaged them and brought them home.  I couldn't remember exactly how the craft fair Santa's looked, so I searched Google images, presuming I would stumble onto a number of similar projects I could borrow from.  Not so much.  So, the design for these guys is mostly made up by me.  I drew it out on a piece of paper, then made templates for all of the pieces out of 1/4" ply to make sure I liked the final proportions.  This is what I came up with.
