Wood burning on birch veneer

I started this piece while I was living in Eugene, Oregon in 1981; and before I could finish it my wood burning tool burned out and I set this aside. I recently invested in a new wood burner and added the finishing touches.

I modeled the piece on a hobo who frequented Eugene in those days.  One day I asked if I could sketch him; and he said "sure".  My grandfather always referred to men such as him with a transient lifestyle as "Knights of the Open Highway".

(The lighting used to photograph this piece makes it appear more yellow than it actually is.)
