About Hank Sprouse

Hank Sprouse began carving in 1980 after seeing a duck carved in a class given by master carver Ken Gleason. He immediately became a member of Ken’s class and has never looked back. Since retiring from dentistry in 2007, he has gone from producing one decorative decoy a year to a full time career of ducks, songbirds and interpretive wood sculpture including “smoothies” and miniature carvings.
He now lives in Stratford, Connecticut with his wife and continues to not only carve for himself but shares his love of carving by teaching others his craft.
