Artisan Watch Box
Commissioned watch box which I was given full liberty in design and wood selection. This box has 15 different woods used to create a artistic work which has a "Old Word/Black Forest" feel. A type of work which would have been presented to a emperor in past time. Inlayed green abalone and mother of pearl are also incorporated. Crushed pearl in ebony artwork of a great horned owl "the watch guardian" resides on the interior of the lid. The box has the best hardware made and is completely lockable. Figured woods include quilted big leaf maple, Hawaiian Koa and Mango, claro walnut, bocote and mahogany. The trees which anchor the 4 corners were hand carved from claro walnut.

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

Apr 2, 2017I would definitely recommend Mark Alan Artisan Woods to anyone looking for a high quality product and a smooth experience on this site. Everything went great... he made me a custom ring box for an engagement ring I will be giving my girlfriend shortly. My schedule was somewhat tight but he accommodated it and shipped the box securely. When I opened the package I was overjoyed to find that it was EXACTLY what I had been looking for. Thank you!
