((He works in this shack tucked away in Check, Virginia and he calls his finished pieces just "THINGS."
But, anyone who owns an Ernest Bryant knows they're more like works of art.
Clients call with ideas and Bryant fashions them into solid creations--like this fireplace mantle complete with double spiral celtic knots and dragons.
He got started after working as an art director for a magazine but he quickly found out the job was not for him.

Bryant has no business cards and he doesn't advertise-- but he doesn't need to.
Clients hear of his work through word of mouth and buyers come from as far away as England and Lebanon.
But, they all share one thing in common--satisfaction.
