Wood

Furniture & Sculpture

Bio:  My name is Mark Donham the sole craftsman at Deer Run Studio. I call it Deer Run because the place sits on a country corner at Catlin Rd and Deer Run Rd in Parke County Indiana. The studio is in an old church built in 1852. The huge cast iron bell still rings from time to time in the steeple.

My background includes a Bachelor of Fine Art from Indiana State University in 1983 and a Masters of Fine Art from Arizona State University in 1987. Both degrees had an emphasis in wood sculpture and furniture design.

I feel my furniture has a sculptural element also. The wonderous nature of wood in its near infinite variety is why I stay excited about this work. Hopefully I will continue for some years to come.

Eclectic Woodworking

The old church building above was acquired by me in December of 2005. The interior is now a 2000 sq. ft. woodshop. A nice country setting with lots of wood everywhere.

Bowl in cherry wood 24" x 12" x 14"

Each cabinet evolves one at a time. The proportions and dimensions of the piece depend upon the planks of wood that I have and how they relate to each other. Basically I want to make things that I like. I want to feel good about the work. A piece of my soul is attached to each.
