Handcrafted Cedar Goods

At Tofino Woodshop, I make Western Red Cedar Adirondack chairs, matching outdoor pieces and a growing selection of other cedar goods. Each product is made by me in my small Canadian workshop.

The work begins with carefully selected old-growth Western Red Cedar logs. I mill the lumber in-house using the quarter-sawn method and choose only clear, knot-free boards for the products I make.

Handling the process from the log selection through final sanding gives me control over the wood, fit and finish at every stage.
