Default Collector's website
A collector of my carvings has built a website to display some of his collection.

http://squirl.info/collection/show/327
I think he did a nice job.

(Please do not bother him with offers to buy or sell) Thanks, Rick

Rick,
Great site, It's good to see several of your great little fellows together. Looks like they should be sitting around a campfire with a can of beans on the coals! Very nice carvings!
I remember a few hobos from when I was a kid. One wintered in an old abandoned one-room-school house in my Dad's pasture, one year. I grew up along the Union Pacific lines, saw lots of boxcar riders, but only met a couple.
I have a book, I think it's THE LAST HOBO written by a man who claimed to be king of the Hobos. Have you got a copy? If not, let me know; I have two, one's yours!
Tony,
Any carver who carves his wife a club deserves whatever he gets!
Wade

Rick, very nice site. It has to be reassuring to know that these fellows have ended up with someone who really appreciates them (and you). Your work is really inspiring.

I think that’s more of a tribute than any ribbon you might have won anywhere.
