What we build
Made for your room.
Built from solid wood.
Dining tables, bar tops and commercial tables make up most of what leaves the shop, along with desks and one-offs. Every piece is sized to your room and made from a slab you can come and see before we cut it.
Bar tops & countertops
Warm wood where people gather: home bars, kitchen islands and commercial counters. Finished in-house to handle glasses, elbows and the odd spill.
Commercial & hospitality
Tasting rooms, restaurants, boardrooms and offices. Statement tables that take a crowd every day and still look good doing it.
Log to table
From a tree down the street to your dining room.
Our slabs start with salvaged local trees. We mill, dry and build in one workshop, so we know the wood from the start.
-
Step 1
Southern Ontario
Salvage
Urban and fallen trees that would otherwise be chipped. Mostly walnut, oak, maple and ash.
-
Step 2
The yard
Mill & air dry
We mill the logs into slabs and let them air dry for as long as we can.
-
Step 3
The kiln
Kiln dry & flatten
Dried in our vacuum kiln, then flattened and wide-belt sanded before we build. Drying time varies with the wood.
-
Step 4
Your home
Build & finish
We pick the grain, build the base and apply a tough, water-resistant finish.

Come walk the racks and put your hand on the slab. Here’s what we have most often.
Not sure where to start?
Start with your table.
Try sizes, species and bases, and see a price estimate as you go. Send it to us when it looks right and we’ll take it from there.
Why people come to us
Made here. Made to last.
Salvaged, not shipped in
We don’t import wood from overseas. Our slabs come from Ontario trees that would otherwise be chipped or discarded, and every one has a story.
You pay for wood and work
Showrooms charge for rent, a brand and a sales team. Because we mill our own lumber and build in-house, a solid slab table costs a fraction of retail.
Solid all the way through
No thin veneers or particle board cores. Solid hardwood and commercial-grade finishes, built to survive real life.
“Custom woodwork is detailed, difficult and at times complicated. Jay and his team did an awesome job on a custom walnut dining table for us. Highly recommend them on both quality of work and price.”
“Jay and Nathan run a great shop and even during COVID made furnishing our office with a bunch of live edge desks easy. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality of the product.”
