His western inspired horses, buffalo, and Native American Chiefs showcases his many talents in storytelling and attention to detail making each carving truly special.<\/p>\n<p>Mark attended San Diego State University, where he learned to perfect his craft and make it his career. Staying true to the California lifestyle, he would surf every morning, noticing the beauty of the sea, it&#8217;s creatures, and the local lagoon life. Using sturdy materials such as Honduran Mahogany, Black Walnut, Teak, and White Oak, each carving contains the beauty of the wood allowing the perfect backdrop to each image.<\/p>\n<p>Recently Mark finished a carving of La Jolla Shores for Duke&#8217;s Restaurant in La Jolla, California. A 10&#8217;x5&#8242; view of the famous La Jolla coast line carved out of high density foam, providing a fresh feel to a surf inspired restaurant. Other projects in the works includes landscapes of beaches, light houses, and Multnomah falls in Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Using just a chisel, hammer, and a block of wood, Mark is truly a Master Wood Carver.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1549433507135{padding-top: 35px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrispostle.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click Here! and checkout his Website<\/a><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3028&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_border&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;http:\/\/www.markseamanart.com\/&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top_margin=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_margin=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3056&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_border&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;http:\/\/www.markseamanart.com\/&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;yes&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;bg_image&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_margin=&#8221;0&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1547089076296{padding-bottom: 45px !important;}&#8221; image_url=&#8221;1378&#8243;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1547088962123{padding-top: 35px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>All proceeds will go to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theboardmeeting.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Board Meeting Charity<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.surfrider.org.au\/sunshine_coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Surfrider Foundation.<\/a><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2433&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1546565532065{padding-top: 35px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>This event is a celebration of the love of the ocean ~surf and everything around it ..
