Bob was born on Chincoteague VA in 1927. He is one of (9) children born to Lloyd J. & Elsie Hudson. Bob spent many hours watching his grandfather carve hundreds of ducks, but never took an interest then. Many, many years ago Bob felt the urge to follow in the Hudson family footsteps and devotes most of his time carving wildlife.
His goal in life is to perpetuate the name of Hudson as an advancement to the art of carving - looking close you may see some of Norman and Ira Hudson in his works.
My Workshop This is my workshop - ah...the smell of pine and the oil paints I use. That is what my grandfather used, and they have stood the test of time. |
