Barnwood Trays
A rustic decorator's dream! I make several different styles and sizes of reclaimed barn wood trays. Some with cast iron handles, some with wooden handles. You can't match the character of old barn wood. These can be built to your dimensions.

Creative, Inspired wood art from Mark Alan Artisan Woods. Now specializing in "Custom Artisan Engagement Ring Boxes"
"Master Wood Artisan" Mark A. Porter resides in White Bluff, TN. His art has found homes in more than 25 US States and 8 Countries throughout the world. "Most of my work is a one of a kind original never to be duplicated. I use different woods ranging from reclaimed
barnwood to exotic burls. I design and create products that look and feel custom made. Some of my work is designed to be functional. Others are purely artistic. Browse my portfolio to get a feel of the time and passion I put into my art. Olympian Eric Liddell I think best worded it in 1924. He said: "I know God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. When I run I feel His pleasure."
When I become immersed in my art, I to can feel His pleasure. I hope my work brings a smile to your face!
Due to work loads I am only accepting "Custom Engagement Ring Boxes" by commission at this time. Please let me know if you would like for me to create a one of a kind ring box for you.
Thank You!

For Wedding Gift! Custom Cutting Board5.0Mark was such a pleasure to work with. I told him about a wedding gift I wanted to make and he jumped right on it without hesitation. He clearly has a passion for delivering quality work that will make a large impact in peoples lives. Once Mark got going, he asked for complete artistic control. Without hesitation I let him run with it only providing him with a handful of pictures to help spark his creative. With in a very short time the project was complete and shipped to the couple. This beats a pair of steak knives any day of the week! I would highly recommend Mark for anything and will surely go to him again in the future.

For Carved Wall Art Plaque with Text and Cross5.0Mark was among the first to give a proposal to my project. He was willing to work with me on the budget I had set, actually lowering his original proposal figure. He was a great communicator, offering design ideas with sketches. I had a specific design, however, that I wanted to be made into a plaque. Once this design was fine-tuned, Mark went to work, creating the board for my 16" plaque. The next week he did the carving, then sent me photos of the finished project. He completed the project ahead of time! I was very happy with the end result. My daughter and husband will have a unique gift that will remind them of the song they sang on their wedding day.
