in love with the rock


Merrick (if you say it fast enough it sounds more like Mick) Ryan lives on Pilley's Island and is hugely talented. His hand crafted mini dorry's are renowned in this area. What makes his superb craftmanship even more appreciated is the fact that Mr. Ryan has been suffering for years with a crippling form of arthitis in his hands. He perseveres the agony in his fingers and continues to produce these magnificent works of art. I've been told that he earned his living in the woods and my guess is that the woods are in his blood. I've included some photos of his dorry's and hope to add to this page in the future..

Mr. Ryan also makes the miniture axes on the miniture chopping blocks. Both great souveniors. He also sells these magnificents pieces at magnificent prices!
