Representative Villa is a life-long resident of our Holly Hills neighborhood and previously served in the state legislature from 1974 to 1984. If you haven't visited the Cut Once Woodwork Studio at 5614 South Grand since its opening in 2000, you might want to make such a visit your New Year's resolution. You can begin by admiring proprietor Kerry Hogan's extensive portfolio. His projects range from tidy little custom crafted jewelry boxes to large statements in furniture. Last year, Hogan built a solid wood cabinet that took Best of Show at the fall Shaw Art Fair.
Hogan also is available to help with repairs on existing furniture.
You'll especially enjoy visiting Cut Once if you appreciate unusual woods incorporated into pieces that double-duty as functional furniture and distinctive artistic statements for your home. HHIA is pleased to welcome Cut Once to the neighborhood. We are delighted to witness a growing number of creative businesses choosing to call our region home, including Geoffrey Seitz Violinmaker at 4171 Loughborough, Preston Art Glass Studio at 4527 Virginia and Companion Baking's old-world bread company at 4555 Gustine. Our bi-monthly meetings are only one fact of what the Holly Hills Improvement Association does. There are committees and events where you can volunteer and get more involved in your neighborhood.
