Hobo and Ned are on the Rail!

Hobo and Ned are on the Rail!

Yes…I can hardly believe it either…this project has come to a close!

I’m very pleased with the way this carving has turned out and I sure did enjoy every minute of the carving and painting. I’m headed to the Hamilton Carving Show at the end of this month and am really looking forward to showing it to other carvers. The Hamilton Show is a Canadian woodcarving competition and is combined with an equally outstanding woodworking show as well as a top-notch Heritage Warplane Museum.

If you are within travelling distance, this show is well worth attending. My daughter is also joining me and I’m looking forward to spending the day with her.

Enjoy the photos! There are more on the Flickr Photo link at the side of this page.

  Thanks Tohner. You almost don’t want to see these projects that we get involved with come to an end…right?…but, when they do you’re a bit glad of it! Mark.
