Built slowly. Built to last.

Crafted by hand.
Built to endure.

Primal Woodworking is a personal workshop focused on thoughtful furniture, useful objects, and one-off pieces made with honest materials.

Old-world technique
Exceptional material
New Brunswick, Canada

Rooted in craft

Power when it helps.
Hand tools when it matters.

Primal Woodworking is where I document the pieces I build, the details that matter to me, and the occasional finished work I make available for sale.

Walnut, padauk, purpleheart, bloodwood, ambrosia maple, bird's-eye maple, and wenge each bring their own temperament. The design begins by listening to the material.

Inside the workshop

A richer material language

Wood with colour, figure, and a story of its own.
