The Story

A self-taught creative, Curt W. Carter took up woodworking in his mid-teens, experimenting with it in various forms. From this young age, his appreciation and respect for how wood works and feels set the groundwork for a deep understanding and capability in the craft.

This aptitude landed him in a feature article in Canadian Woodworking Magazine in 2014 and gained him a niche following on Youtube for his tutorial series on his Roubo/Scandanavian inspired workbench with wooden screws and nuts. 

Though Curt further developed his skillsets as a mechanic and timber framer, the artistry and detail of fine woodwork continued to call him back to his first love, fine woodworking. He originally launched his bespoke furniture business in Niagara before moving to the Kawarthas in 2023. Now Curt finds profound inspiration out in the forested lake regions surrounding his new home, and you will often find him turning on the lathe or carving blocks of wood while he works towards building his new shop.
