ABOUT DANNY HOLMES

Danny was first drawn to greenwood spoon carving because of its traditional methods and simple hand tools. The process of taking a log, that would otherwise be chipped or burned, and creating a wonderful, usable item, limited only by your imagination is something very special. Danny looks forward to passing on this passion to his students.
