About Nature's Wooden Treasures

My name is Mark and I live in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, with my wife. I have spent my entire career working in the automotive industry in the Quality Control area until I retired a few years ago. My love for woodworking began in Jr. High School woodshop class back in the 1970’s. Since that time, I have dabbled in various wood projects, crafting items for my family including a grandfather clock, an old-fashioned wagon, a tackle box and end tables. Part of my love for woodworking stems from my love for the wood’s natural beauty. The grain, texture and color are so magnificent. I have found great joy when I “Unlock the Beauty” of each rough log and turn it into something beautiful and functional. Before retiring I took my woodworking hobby to the next step and formed the business, Nature’s Wooden Treasures. I continue to make the wooden pens which I started with, but I have greatly expanded the product scope with the CNC laser cutter/engraver and CNC router cutter. I continue to do local craft shows as well as having my products in a variety of local artisan stores. Thank you for viewing my website and reading My Story. Mark Read their story
