Mark Osgood is a lifelong woodworker who built his first major project, a sailing dinghy, at age 13. After gaining extensive boat repair experience in Florida, Ohio, and Chicago, he pursued a career in the Chicago futures markets while continuing woodworking. His family’s interest in cycling eventually inspired him to combine the two passions. Mark has built wooden bicycles since 2013 and has worked at it full time for the past three years. His award-winning bicycles have appeared in art shows and presentations nationwide. He received the 2016 Veneer Tech Craftsman’s Challenge Award and MASW’s Excellence in Woodworking Award.
