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!
Mark

    Mark did an excellent job building my jewelry box for my girlfriend, it was cool how he added his artistic touch. Definitely worth the money it's a one of a kind. The whole process was fun he sent plenty of updates and pictures.Thank you so much.

    I can't recommend Mark enough, as the 5-star rating would indicate.

    Mark was a joy to work with. I'd seen a picture of a key-themed engagement ring box he'd made for another couple, and I contacted him for a quote. I submitted a sketch of an idea I had, and he took it above and beyond what I'd imagined.
    I told him when I wanted to pop the question, and he made sure I had the box in plenty of time. For a custom box, his lead time was very reasonable.
    The box wasn't 'cheap', but the value is substantial. It is of heirloom quality, a work of art, and will make a wonderful, sentimental conversation piece.

    If I get turned down, it won't be because the box wasn't awesome.

    Mark is fantastic and his work is absolutely beautiful! His communicates frequently and timely, and provided consistent updates to our project with photos. The quality of his work is amazing and truly unique. He is very attentive to any requests I made regarding the style of the project, but I would have complete faith to let him run wild with your idea, as he is truly a great craftsman. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough!

    Mark was great to work with. I had requested a very odd project and it required a good amount of back and forth communication to get it right. I further complicated the job because he was unable to see where the finish product was going to go, but that didn't stop him from making sure every detail was covered. He as very proactive and detail oriented, which was crucial for the success of this project. The finished product was more than I could have hoped for. I look forward to working with Mark on some additional humidors in the near future! Thank you!!
