Floyd Palmer, Wood Carver

Wood carver Floyd Palmer of Marron Town, St. James, credits his influences to the lizards, owls and frogs he’d catch and release as a child. His work clearly reflects the animals found in the Cockpit Country region. His carvings are mainly made from cedar and sometimes the lignum vitae tree (Jamaica’s national tree). He cites his Uncle, Balford Palmer as his mentor and the person who got him interested in carving. He loves animals and the outdoors and is also a huge Bounty Killer fan.
