Hello, I’m Mark

“To make something that has been replicated a billion times interesting is the ultimate in creativity.”

Growing up on a farm we always built everything we needed. As a kid we could only use what we found around the farm, so we needed to be creative in order to make common things from uncommon materials. Tree fort furniture was logs and boards an old sign to construct a bench.

I’ve always had an attraction to the design aspect of a piece it can even be a common like a chair or table. The design doesn’t have to be ornate or opulent. Design in my eyes is simply a way to craft something creative that holds my interest, whether that be in the curvature of the piece or how something joins together.

The skills I hone are unique in the sense that I am multi-disciplined, you could call me a jack of all trades. I’m a master stone mason, carpenter, plaster of paris, tile setter, machine operator, concrete finisher, and more. If presented with a field, I can build you the house, the finishes, and all the furniture with my own two hands. Unfortunately, at this time I can not make the glass for the windows, or the shingles, but I’m a work in progress. 

Wood is my favourite medium, but I love incorporating all-natural elements. I welded and fabricated some of the handles and hardware for a few of my pieces.
