Mark Yuengling
Woodwork
After years of massive woodworking projects for television, theater and film, Mark moved to Vermont in 2006 to pursue a career in fine furniture making. As his furniture making frequently yields sappy, peculiarly grained or colored wood, Mark is left with a wide assortment of F.S.C. certified shorts with which he creates end grain butcher blocks, servers and bowls. Mark relies on the particular oddities revealed in the end grain of the wood to direct the design, shape and edge treatment of each piece. He particularly likes the challenge in creating durable, functional pieces of wooden art from what most other woodworkers would never consider machining. Despite hearing that his creations are too beautiful to cut on, all pieces are designed to withstand the heaviest handed of chefs.
