The Menagerie

Ken Means’ first foray into carving began with a rocking horse for his daughters as a Christmas present during lean times. That one beautiful piece of art was the springboard for a lifetime love of crafting, and a 30-year journey of creating a menagerie of animals that would soon become, The Carousel of Dreams by Ken Means.
