Hobo

[JoeVM]

Good ones Wayne, bet you could make a whole bunch of different things with that basic pattern.

[JoeVM]

Thank you everyone for your nice comments. It was a fun one to carve.

Tom, I should have put a patch or two on his coat.

[JoeVM]

Very nice!

[JoeVM]

This little hobo is about 6 inches tall. He's from a picture of one carved back in the 1930's....

[JoeVM]

Good, as always, Eddy. Must have missed this one last week....

[JoeVM]

Kudos to both you and Felix.

[JoeVM]

Nice snowman Tom. He may have indigestion with that ball in there.

[JoeVM]

Whatever it is, good luck with it.

[JoeVM]

Nice carving Herb, thanks for posting.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Claude, thanks Herb, glad you like him.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Joe, I hope he doesn't look too mean, cause he's a friendly Viking (as long as you do what he says).

Thanks Tom, I suppose that stache gets in his ale sometimes.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Kris, good to hear from you. I should have a party, but like I told Rodster, mostly it's a way to use some shorter blocks and wine bottle corks....

[JoeVM]

Thanks Rodster. As for holding it, this one is about 3 1/2 inches tall and not any harder to hold than most figures I do. The head is at the top of the block but there wasn't any extra.

I use wine bottle corks (of which there is a good supply) and attach them with a dowel. I seldom use...

[JoeVM]

Here's a Viking that I recently finished....

[JoeVM]

Very nice Merle, and well named.

[JoeVM]

Very nice, Wayne. Did you do the head and horns separately?

[JoeVM]

Nice bunch of pups and I'm sure will be a great bunch of carvings.

[JoeVM]

Wow, Mike, that is a wonderful carving.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Joe, Woodburner, Merle, Herb, and Tinwood. Always nice to hear your comments. I'm glad you like this little cowboy.

[JoeVM]

That sure is nice Donna, and the painting is super.
