Log Reindeer

Over 20 years ago my husbands Uncle Tony was known for the log reindeer he would make for Christmas. Uncle Tony is gone now, but we've kept the tradition alive during the Holidays.
Every year we add to Santa's herd and gift a few to family and friends, and while each reindeer is different, they all have the same ingredients - logs and tree branches.

If you own a chain saw you can make these. Previous versions had googly eyes and white faux fur on the tail, but Winter is hard on things here so we now use all natural body parts from our woods.
The ears, eyes, and tail are all small pieces of tree cut and nailed on. The antlers are replaced every year with fresh twigs.
