The many and diverse types of Russian Santa that are hand-carved by the master carvers each show that carver's
depiction of the Father Frost image. Some carvers give the Russian Santa face a very jovial smile and twinkling eyes
so that the Santa appears to be ready to hand out gifts! Other carvers make the Santa quite tall and thin and the face
is also carved with great detail, with tiny grooves in the long flowing beards. The artist then takes over and makes the
Russian Santa come to life with all the detailed work that is done on the eyes, mouth and cloak of the Father Frost
figure. The artists may use pencil to lightly sketch in the outline of the scenery and figures or the artist may just
directly apply the paint to the linden wood carved form. Nowadays, the artists use a matte finish for most of the
Russian Santa forms, but you can still find some figures with the high gloss lacquer finish. Because the linden wood
is aged for approximately two years or more, it is highly impervious to any cracking or warping and your Russian
Santa will last for many, many years of enjoyment.
