Henry Clay Brunson

Raised in a small fishing community, Clay grew up with salt in his veins. As both a fisherman and a lifelong carpenter, he's always worked with his hands and knows the importance of meticulous precision. Today, guided by nature, tradition, and a deep respect for craftsmanship, he carves intricate rocking seahorses, each one a tribute to the Gulf that raised him and the timeless art of woodworking.
