MarkWaninger

From his childhood in rural southern Indiana, to the launch of his own business, Mark
has always been active in woodworking. He enjoys searching for the possibilities of
what can be created from the natural beauty of native Indiana hardwoods, adding
the occasional accent of rare exotic species. The combinations are endless when
Mark’s skill as a master millwright is partnered with his artistic flair. When you start with
precision craftsmanship, then add the drive for perfection and an eye for
complementary styles, you have a recipe for beautiful creations. His work features
unique artistic designs, where each piece is envisioned and individually fabricated,
one step at a time, from the rough sawn lumber to the French-Polish finish.

When he is not in the shop, Mark enjoys spending time with his family and being
outdoors. He has traveled to many parts of the United States to explore the natural
wonders of this country. Some of his favorite areas include the beautiful state parks
across Indiana, the red rocks and twisted Junipers of Sedona, the majestic pink
granite of Cadillac Mountain in Maine, and the Giant Redwoods along the coast of
northern California. Mark is also committed to replenishing native Indiana hardwood
trees, to do his part to provide future generations with the opportunity to enjoy the
same pleasures these resources have offered to him. He has personally hand-planted
nearly 4000 trees to date.
