Wood Furniture
Restoration, Refinishing and Re-Creation
Located in
North Vancouver, British Columbia
Woodsmithing is dedicated to the restoration, refinishing and
re-creation of wood furniture including antique and contemporary
treasures, from small, individual pieces (like storage boxes, games tables
or individual chairs) to entire bedroom or dining-room suites. All work is
to high standards of craftsmanship using the most durable materials
available including fittings, fasteners, adhesives, paints, stains and
waxes). Our projects range from solid woods to exquisite veneers and from
finely polished hardwoods to grain-painted pine.

"I
marvel at the natural beauty of wood and its strength and endurance
as a building material. Every piece of furniture I see is an
original piece of art because one of the most endearing qualities of
wood is that no two pieces of wood are ever the same. The grain, the
colour and the patterns within wood vary from tree to tree."
