Some final sanding, shellac, and a bow before delivering to neighbors.

Looks like 12 "Left looking" Reindeer and 12 "Right-looking" Reindeer? (that is a LOT of deer!)

I am not even sure if I stretch it, that I could find 12 people, I would spend the time to do that for, let alone 24! So good for you that you have that many people that are important to you!

Impressive.
I did 18 about three years ago. That was a lot of tedious work. The pattern I used had a little tail sticking up that making sanding the back impractical. I like your pattern better.

Interesting, i got into making bandsaw reindeer several years ago but the pattern was different. Very nicely done I'm sure they will be well received

Very nice, we’re they made with a band saw or scroll saw, thx RJ
Made with a bandsaw from an 8” piece of 2x4 pine; two 2x4=24 reindeer. Pattern attached (from WWGOA) prints full size on standard paper.

Be careful. Reindeer making can become very addictive. I've been making them every year for the past 17 years. I made all of them on my scroll saws in 4 sizes. The smallest that I make is about 1" tall. They make nice ear rings. About 90 pair of ear rings have been made and almost 7,000 total reindeer since this addiction started.

If you decide to make the style in my photos, the pattern for it is on www.woodgears.ca . I adjusted the size of it to make the 4 sizes that I make on my scroll saws and used Photoshop to place as many copies of each size on an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper as possible.
