A Grandpa's Craft

Craig creates Papa's Woodworking from his workshop in Grand Forks, BC, transforming reclaimed wood, barnwood, and live-edge pieces into beautiful, functional items for the home. Each piece carries the character of the wood and the care of a craftsman who's been working with his hands for years.

The Beauty of Reclaimed Wood
