About
The Process
Every piece follows a deliberate path from raw material to finished work.
Sourcing
Selecting sustainably harvested and reclaimed timber from the Okanagan Valley and surrounding forests.
Milling & Drying
Each log is milled into slabs and air-dried for one to three years, depending on species and thickness.
Design
Working with the natural form of the wood — its curves, grain, and character — a design emerges through sketches and templates.
Joinery & Shaping
Precision joinery by hand and machine. Every joint is fitted, tested, and refined before final assembly.
Finishing
Hand-sanded through fine grits and finished with natural oils that enhance the grain and protect the surface for decades.
Delivery
Each finished piece is carefully inspected, documented, and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
