Nestled in the southern tip of Butler County resides Sam Gentry. I originally went to interview Sam about his wood carvings, but while there I learned he was capable of so much more.  His home is a museum of carved art; from his hand carved mantel piece, to the mural he is currently painting on his wall, his house breathes art.  He can literally carve anything, even food. Yes, Sam is also a culinary artist.  I don’t know how much better you can get than being able to appreciate and eat a piece of art at the same time!
