Hoppy Edwards retired after 46 years as a mechanical engineer with Kimble Glass Co., in Vineland, New Jersey.
His entry into the carving
world came in 1982. He progressed quickly through the novice
and intermediate classes. By 1986, he was a contender in the open
class, where he won numerous blue ribbons and best of show
awards. All his decorative carvings are of Tupelo Gum. Many
of the stick-ups are Jersey White Cedar or Bass Wood. Edwards
uses liquitex acrylic paint and hand paints all his carvings.
Hoppy carves many types of wildfowl and song birds but carving ducks is still his favorite.
