Hand carved from a single piece of quilted big leaf maple, a dolphin glides over a reef. The sculpture has a beautiful black walnut base. The reef and reef life are colored using dyes. The figuring of the natural colored wood in the dolphin has beautiful motion from different lighting angles.

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 Glove Box HumidorMark 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!!
