On this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, we’re talking to wood worker, Mark Peacock of Deer River Craftsman. Deer River Craftsman focuses on designing, creating and selling custom furniture.
Mark began by first making personal pieces followed by commissioned work for friends and family which lead to him expanding his services to everyone. Mark has been making custom pieces for over 20 years using various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, glass, and leather.
It has always been a dream for Mark to become a professional craftsman which is why in 2018 he built his own workspace to build custom pieces and became a professional maker. After accomplishing his dream, Mark strove to elevate his knowledge while giving back to the maker community. Mark accomplished this by joining the “maker community” which features a global network of like minded artists where he can be both teacher and student. The authenticity of being a genuine maker is something that runs through Mark's blood and this authenticity is exactly what the maker community needs.
