Mark Ringlever is a man of many interests and skills. He is a boat captain, a fly fisherman and he can do many things with wood. His carpentry and woodwork can be seen in private homes in Leelanau and Grand Traverse County. Recently I caught up with him in his studio at Lake Street Studios in Glen Arbor. On the wall were some large drawings of fish. They, he explained, were sketches for a 12-foot-high totem pole he made for a Leelanau County residence. On another wall were prints of fish. He made these when he studied Japanese wood block printing, Moku hanga, at the Glen Arbor Arts Center. Around the studio were piles of wood in intriguing shapes and colors.
