Mark Hudon has been working with wood since
he took high school shop classes starting in 1973. He spent much of his summers and after school hours in his Grandfather's
workshop while apprenticing a Master Cabinet Maker. A lot of his skills were acquired through trial and error over years of
mistakes and successes. His portfolio ranges from complete kitchens, to garden caddy’s, children's toys and puzzles,
to mature tea tables and chests. He's mastered Hutch Tables, Bucket Benches, Wall mirrors, Writing Desks and most recently,
the Windsor Chair through the Windsor Institute in New Hampshire with Mike
Dunbar. He prefers the Early American Period of woodworking and continually look for unique everyday wooden items from
the past to reproduce for 21st century use. Most items are built with a combination of power and hand tools. He has recently
taken a renewed interest in working with hand tools and really enjoy the quietness and large curls of wood shavings on the
shop floor.
