We had the good fortune of connecting with Detrick Martin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Detrick, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I am a wood carver, my brother is a master wood worker and my mother makes pine needle baskets. We all love what we do and decided to share our products with others. In 2021 we all decided to start a business together, Crafts from Trees.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I decided from the first that I want to make carvings that are Unique to me and have a twist that distinguished them from other products


If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love the mountains. Estes Park, Nederland, Glenwood Springs and steamboat are some of my favorite spots.
