I am very proud to own an original keychain made by you! It always keeps me safe. And our cross...as a wedding gift. Donnie, you are an incredible talent!

I just tapped on this video to watch and feel like I know him from somewhere, can’t figure out where tho. Might have to mosey down to the shop :)

I had the pleasure of taking a class with Donnie a few years back. It was an amazing experience and he is a great teacher. I still have the items we made and use the knife as a letter opener almost everyday. Glad to see you still pursuing your passion and I really need to come back for another class.

I had the pleasure to know Donnie and he is a dedicated artist committed to his craft. His works are impressive: they show his integrity and attention to detail which is innate for a profound artist. He is knowledgable in his expertise and I’m sure someone can learn alot from him.
