The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, Meredith Fine Craft
Gallery is proud to highlight the intricate wood artistry of juried-in artist Duane Martin, a master
of Intarsia, which is a 3D woodworking technique that combines different types, colors, and
grains of thick woods, without stain, to create richly detailed, dimensional images. Each piece is
meticulously hand-cut, shaped, and assembled like a wooden mosaic, bringing the natural beauty
and textures of the wood to life.
Duane’s wood art celebrates both craftsmanship and connection to the natural world, blending
fine woodworking with artistic expression. One of Duane’s most striking works is a tribute to
one of New Hampshire’s most beloved symbols, the Old Man of the Mountain. This piece
captures the enduring spirit of the Granite State’s famous rock profile, carefully rendered through
layers of natural wood tones that echo the rugged landscape of Franconia Notch.
Equally captivating is Duane’s woodpecker, a creative depiction of the forest’s rhythm and
energy. The piece highlights Duane’s keen eye for detail in the woodpecker’s striking coloring
against the tree’s texture, and the interplay of light and shadow all skillfully crafted from wood
alone, without the use of paint or stains.
The Meredith Fine Craft Gallery invites you to come see these skillfully crafted pieces where the
timeless beauty of New Hampshire’s landscape and wildlife is preserved in wood. For more
