Don Swartz at Hillcrest Carving

Now Selling Ron Wells Blanks

Don lives in Lancaster County, PA, among the Amish.  A member of the PA Guild of Craftsmen, he has been carving for 25 years and is self taught.  Most of his work is of a caricature nature, a little free-spirited with just a hint of realism.  In other words, "He carves what he darn well pleases!" After 35 years as a physical therapist he retired to "carve out the rest of his life a 'whittle' at a time." He sells all kinds of carving supplies from his shop, Hillcrest Carving, and is quite pleased to be able to offer the delightfull cast of characters developed by Ron Wells over his carving career.  His goal is to offer the great service people grew to appreciate from Ron.
