[Woodcarver] How to carve the Hobo/Tramp art Crown of Thorns

[Robert Muller]

Jim,

 

Jim Sebring from Stroudsburg PA has taught tramp art at previous Northeast
Woodcarvers Roundups.  Jim will be at the Roundup this year, but teaching
something else.  He has done the crosses and frames.  I believe he did an
article in Woodcarving Illustrated a few years back. 

 

I'm not sure if he or his son Jody monitor this list.  

 

You can email me off list I could get you the contact info.

Hey everybody.  I need some help here.  I have been doing a lot of different
ball in cage, chains, and other whimsical carvings lately and have been
really enjoying it.  I have done some research on Hobo/Tramp Art Carvings
and I am really impressed with what is called the Crown of Thorns carvings.
These are items (ie, picture frames, crosses, etc) that are made up of a
large number of small carved pieces.  The items look like a whole bunch of
little points put together.  I have been able to find plenty of photos and
information on the items that have been produced but I cannot locate
anything that shows me how to actually make the individual pieces or put
them together to build the projects.  If anyone out there can help me find
this information I would be extremely grateful.  I would like to try my hand
at it.  Considering the lack of information available, I am afraid it may be
a lost cause, but I figure that there might be someone out there that can
help me.
Thanks
Jim
