| Artistic Wood Expressions |
Mark took his first wood turning class back in high school and gained a sincere admiration for both the process of turning but also the satisfaction in creating art. However, it was not until retiring as a firefighter, he decided to take some more classes in pursuit of a hobby. The joy of discovering each piece of wood's potential as a piece of fine art drives his newfound passion. He continues to take classes to further develop his skills as an artistic wood turner. He has had the privilege to study at John C. Campbell School in North Carolina as well as from many master wood turners at symposiums throughout the southeast. Mark enjoys working with many types of American wood species including Maple, Cherry, Box Elder, Champhor, and Hickory. He also enjoys turning exotic woods. In turning, Mark seeks to highlight the unique grain, shape and color of each piece. Take pleasure in the distinct character and beauty of Mark's artistic wood expressions. Mark's motto is "Turn it, don't burn it!" |
