Today is your lucky day .. go to e- bay and type in the search .. Harold Enlow .. under his name is two items listed .. one of them is his Hobo book for a great price ..
good luck ,, Hobo's are fun to carve ..

P.S. also if you look in some back issues of WCI they have some patterns of Trygg hobo's

Thanks Gene! I will go in and check it out! I was actually inspired by the ones you have posted on here lately and thought I would give it a try! Nice carvings!

Mark, I didn't think about Mac having it this weekend! That may be a good option too! He may have several things I am looking for! See you all sat!
