Lots to show you all.

I have been having a really busy few weeks. I have many Hobo Nickels to show you that I have carved. Some are private commissions, some sold on Ebay and a few made for family members. Hope you enjoy looking at the Hobo Nickel photos.

Thanks,
Shane

Hobo Nickel

What is a hobo nickel you may ask?

The hobo nickel is a sculptural art form involving the creative modification of small-denomination coins, essentially resulting in miniature bas-reliefs. The nickel, because of its size, thickness, and relative softness, was a favored coin for this purpose. However, the term hobo nickel is generic, as carvings have been made from many different denominations. Due to its low cost and portability, this medium was particularly popular among hobos, hence the name (Hobo Nickel).~ Wikipedia
