We make these too

The Same Wood
We Build With.

We run a full furniture studio in Hamilton, Ontario — building dining tables, benches, and statement pieces by hand. The lumber in these project packs is the same premium hardwood we hand-select for our own custom builds.

Every board meets our own shop standards for grain, colour, and stability. If we wouldn't use it in a custom piece, it doesn't go in a pack.

Good questions

Before
You Order.

Everything you need to know about what you're getting, how it ships, and what to expect when you open the box.

The photos show representative examples of each species. Due to the natural variation in live edge lumber and the volume we distribute, your specific boards are chosen from our curated piles for that species. No two boards are identical — that's the beauty of real wood. If you have specific requests, reach out before ordering.

Photos on this page may show bark on the live edge — but bark cannot be guaranteed to remain on the boards during shipping.

⚠️ Shipping to the United States: Bark must be removed before crossing the border. All US orders will be shipped with bark stripped. This is a customs requirement — we comply so your order clears without delay.

Kiln-drying reduces the moisture content of the wood to a stable level — meaning less warping, cracking, and movement after you build. Our boards are dried to industry-standard moisture levels so you can finish and install with confidence.

Add 3 packs of the same species to your cart — the discount applies automatically at checkout. You pay for 2, the 3rd is free. That's 45 boards total with free shipping. Simple as that.

Orders typically ship within 2–4 business days from our Hamilton, Ontario studio. Most Canadian orders arrive in 5–7 business days. US orders may take 7–10 business days. Free shipping is included on all pack orders.

The Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal applies per species — 3 Walnut packs gets you 1 free Walnut pack, and 3 Cherry packs gets you 1 free Cherry pack. You're welcome to order both species in the same order, but the promotion applies within each species separately.

We stand behind every board we ship. If you're not satisfied for any reason, reach out and we'll make it right — no hoops, no runaround. That's our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

ℹ️

Important notice about live edge lumber: Photos on this page do not represent the exact boards that will be shipped. Due to the natural variation of live edge lumber and the volume we distribute, pieces are chosen from piles set aside for each pack. Widths, grain patterns, and colour tones will vary. Bark is shown in some photos for illustrative purposes — bark cannot be guaranteed to remain intact during shipping, and orders shipping to the United States will have bark removed to comply with customs requirements. Please reach out before ordering if you have specific requests.
