MY STORY & PHILOSOPHY

I am a woodworker based out of Deep Cove, North Vancouver. I salvage table legs, floor boards,  lumber offcuts and hardware and rework purpose back into the wood by creating simply shaped and organically designed pieces that highlight the dings and dents from their old life. From candle holders to vases, centrepieces to picture holders, and shelving to wall art, each piece is made to compliment the simplistic beauty that is already ingrained in wood.

The rustic west coast lifestyle of my upbringing in Coldwell Beach, Indian Arm, set the foundation for woodworking where nothing is wasted and everything is reused when you are your own hardware store with a boat ride away from the world.
 

Today my collection has grown and the pieces you see on my site are now aptly named Coldwell Creations.
 

When not in the workshop I like to spend time adventuring on the North Shore mountains, tending to our veggie garden, filling my pantry with homesteader aspirations, and playing oceanside.

 

I also believe in contributing to my community and keeping the magic of the small town feel of the Cove alive. This is why I jumped on board to build the Cove Community Market series - a local artisan market with eco forward and handmade goods.
