Default North Carolina hillbilly

A few carvings over Easter break. One hillbilly, one dried up cow poke, and one gnome kicked up hobo style.

Hobo, they say we all carve our own likeness in the humans we carve and looking at all your marvelous carvings I can see a family resemblance that looks a lot like I imagine you look. Am I close or are you better looking than your carvings??? In spite of all that, your carvings look like they are ready to talk and the gnome has swallowed a funny thought. Great job and keep it up.

Hey Hobo,
Nice carvings! I think I like the dried up cowpoke best as he has a lot of expression and detail in his face.

Donald are you monkeying around with me?Tucker 1931 the arm is carved and doesnt move. Maybe one to many pain meds? The hillbilly and the cowpoke are carved from Juglans cinerea
