Mark Laub has enjoyed woodworking all his life. Twelve years ago he set aside the corporate world to build functional art furniture full time. His studio is located in the forest on the banks of the scenic Rum River in Minnesota.

Laub believes that inspiration can come from anywhere. He aspires, as William Blake suggested, "to see the world in a grain of sand". Careful attention to the details in his work leads to smile producing surprises for all those who look closely.

Today, his works are well known for their fluid, nature inspired designs, the use of exotic woods, stained glass, patinated copper, and inlays of brass, silver,abalone, and mother of pearl. His work has been published in many national periodicals, has received awards and recognition in numerous juried exhibitions and is currently on display in four galleries in the Minneapolis/St Paul area.

Recently Laub assisted in the creation of Europa II- the 2009 Art Case piano for Steinway and Sons.

In addition to woodworking, Laub enjoys music and an occasional glass of wine. When the two are combined, he will argue endlessly with himself, debating the best music ever written. Today, it’s a tie between Chopin’s Fantaisie Impromptu and Neil Young’s Hurricane.
