We love them! How was the face carved? To me, a steady hand. Thanks for the "recipe."

all circles were drilled with a 1/4" drill bit. the other areas were carved using a dremel and small bit. I use a 3/16" bit for the arms. I whittle the branches to a slight taper for a snug fit. I don't glue them in, so they can be moved around for different expressions and easily replaced if broken.

Many thanks. It's on the list for next Christmas.
