A very detailed ring box in the theme of the Dr. Who Tardis. Exterior is dyed hard maple. Interior is black walnut and rosewood. The window pane dividers and light on top were made from ebony. When the light is turned the interior light comes on illuminating the time machine. This was a very challenging design project but it was a lot of fun! My client for this project was awesome! Thanks!

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 Custom engadgement ring/wedding ring boxMark made for me a custom engagement ring box made of Cocobolo and African Blackwood. I contacted him with a short deadline of only about a month to get this done and he not only managed to finish the project and get it to me in time, but did it VERY well. The ring box is beautiful and shows the craftsmanship of an expert. I would highly reccomend Mark to anyone without hesitation.

For Wedding Gift! Custom Cutting BoardMark 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.
