Default Carved all weekend

I decided the heck with it and spent a whole weekend carving.

I was able to finish a carving start to finish.

It sold within an hour after I posted it on my site.
I should probably take up carving.

Like I told you before, if you ever decide to come to the east coast, let me know. I would love to sit down and carve one of those fellas with you. Really nice job Rick.

Great job Rick! I'm a big fan of your Hobos. I'm just wondering who the lucky person was that got to it first! Yeah, maybe you should spend more time carving!! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Rick!

Thanks for sharing. One quirky question, have you ever carved, or have been asked to carve, a female hobo? Guess that would be a hobo-ette?...uh, hobbit?...uh ho something...
