WHAT I’M ALL ABOUT

My name is Mark, owner, designer, and craftsman at Ervin Woodworks.  Being a self-taught craftsman has allowed me to explore and develop my skills over a lifetime.  Along my journey the passion for woodworking grew with a calm, deliberate approach to design, sparking an appreciation for the time-honored techniques and the skill that goes into making a truly fine piece of furniture.

​

I began my woodworking experience much later in life after retiring from the military. I served almost 30 years in the US Navy, in both Active and Reserve capacities, I retired in 2019 with a VA rating of 100% total and permanent disability.  The therapy of woodworking has proven to be the best medicine for me.

​

Our goal, however, isn’t just to make custom items.  We want to reintroduce the appreciation and awareness of traditional quality craftsmanship to our patrons.  We live in a culture whose primary focus is on mass produced, cheaply made, low quality products.  As a result, this is what most people have come to expect.

Have something created with your needs in mind that will last a life time, and continue to look and feel as good as the day you bought it.  My advice to you: let your imagination be limitless.  Let quality be your guide. Let Ervin Woodworks get you there.

Ervin Woodworks.  One piece at a time, one customer at a time.
