PROJECT WORK - COMMISSIONS
My Passion is to work on special projects (Commissioned Work) where I create heirloom woodturnings and serving boards from your own felled tree logs. I will turn your fallen tree into memorable artistic and utility woodturned pieces for you to use and enjoy. I can engrave your family name, street, etc., on the bottom of each piece. Each item is also uniquely numbered and signed by me. I believe that each piece of wood is unique with its own special personality. The natural shape, grain and figure inspire me to bring out the best characteristics in the final artistic form. Please look around our website. I hope that my work captures your imagination and inspires you. Call me if you have any questions.

CORPORATE ORDERS
We are offering our handcrafted (Made in Ontario) eco-wood art pieces as unique presentation gifts. Every item comes with a personalized Commissioned Work Certificate or Gift Card. A salutation or name can be engraved on the foot of each bowl, on the bottom of a serving board and on salt & pepper mills.
Our Made-in-Canada eco-wood fine desk pens are very suitable as "international protocol gifts". Each pen comes with an authenticity certificate and an eco-wood profile card (where the recycled wood originated in Canada). Personal initials and your corporate logo can be embossed on our genuine made-in-Canada leather pen pouches.
For further information on pricing points and to arrange for a personal viewing of sample works at your corporate office, or at our Toronto studio, please e-mail or call us.
CLEAN & CARE FOR OUR HANDCRAFTED BOWLS & BOARDS
With proper care, our wood bowls or charcuterie boards can be a family heirloom. It can be hand washed with warm water and a non-detergent mild dish soap, then towel dried properly. Please do not place in a dishwasher, microwave or oven or expose it to high heat or direct sunlight. An occasional very light buffing with mineral oil or beeswax will protect and add lustre, let it stand overnight, then wipe with paper towels. The wood color may darken over time.
