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 Engagement Ring Box5.0I 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.

For Artisan Jewelry Box Mahogany & Walnut Burl5.0Mark was wonderful to work with! He was very clear with how long it would take and he delivered exactly when he said he would. The custom watch box he produced is absolutely gorgeous. The wood is beautiful and rich, and the compartments are perfectly proportioned and useful. I absolutely recommend Mark for any custom woodwork and I hope to work with him again!
