Ed Martens primarily uses materials gathered from the Lakes district area, to create his art pieces. The houses he carves are from long deceased cotton wood tree bark and he utilizes the mountain pine beetle wood for his pens. When the bugs kill the trees they have a blue stain inside which can create a very unique and beautiful designs when spinning pens.
Ed has also done a number of commission jobs which have included raw/mountain pine beetle bed frames with intricate designs playing with the grains of wood, to a set of chairs and a baptism basin designed all by himself.
