This here was by far and away the coolest wood shop I have ever walked into. If you walk the seven-mile beach, you’ll be sure to find hundreds of carvers looking to sell you their skillfully crafted handmade products, but it’s best to feel it out. Don’t jump the gun. You can always go back. Buying a souvenir on Day 1 would be a serious mistake, at least in my humble opinion that is.
“My friend, my friend! Came take a lot at my shop.”
Surely, go check them out, but don’t get sucked in right away. That would be quite the tourist move if you ask me. There’s a woodcarver right next door, and another 10 yards down the way near Legends. Scope it out for a few days, come back to one that caught your eye, throw a price out, and let it settle in for another day or two. Maybe at this point in time you found yourself another shop with a piece that you liked better than the one you made an offer for. It all depends on what you’re looking for. @crypticat is probably looking for masks of sorts, while @super-irie may be looking for a nice rasta head to hang above his mantle. It all just depends. Personal preference.
I walked into this shop after I had been buying from Robert Woolery for years, and I was just wowed. The purity and amount of detail in these pieces of art is indescribable through any words. Just think of the amount of time spent carefully crafting so many sculptures. There were hundreds to choose from, and all of them the best of quality. This here is the best woodcarver in all of Negril. The best I have come across at least.
Most carvers will bargain with you. This guy sets his price and sticks to it. He takes pride is his work and knows just how much each is worth in his eyes. It’s justifiable, just take a look for yourself.
Yea monn
One Love,

It is good that he sets his price and sticks to it, the pieces look well detailed, he knows his worth. LOL I even see a Mickey mouse hahahah,. I'd take the soun/moon beside the rasta head.

Only carver I know to do this. Unique and justified. His worth is explained through his talented expression. I know you see this too. The sun/moon piece is quite similar to the piece I bought and brought back home for my mother. The one perched on the beam behind it between the sun/moon and Rasta head. Great minds think alike @dmilliz

Very interesting wood products. Especially this one.
I collect antique items. And the bust of this girl will stand in a prominent place in my office when I buy it. All that remains is to get to the beach .. Cool.
