What You Should Know Before Buying a Custom Wood Dining Table
What to know before buying a custom wood dining table: finding the right woodworker, budget, design choices, red flags and shipping.

“Lee made me a charcuterie board, it turned out incredible and I still use it after several years. … Lee's work is 10/10 and I recommend his service to everyone.”
Josh Froese· Review on Google ★★★★★
“I got several pieces. A small dish and several charcuterie boards, all of different sizes. I really love them all. They are beautiful and very well made.”

Meet the maker
Hi, I'm Lee. Welcome to the shop.
I build furniture, serving boards and custom CNC pieces the slow way, in my shop in Edmonton. These days I’m also working toward my Red Seal in carpentry.
Measure twice, take your time, finish it right or don’t finish it. The pieces that leave the shop are ones I’d keep. Most builds get filmed, mistakes included.

Real projects, real mistakes, real fixes. Grab a coffee and join us in the shop.
What we believe
“Remember when people passed furniture down through generations? Let’s get back to that: timeless, solid wood pieces that grow old with you.”
