Shop Boards

Hand-crafted boards shaped by tide, storm, and grain.

Made on Read Island, British Columbia
 

Each board is shaped by hand using carefully selected island wood — yew, maple, and figured grain — finished slowly, and made to last.

These are not mass-produced pieces. Every board carries its own grain story, tide line, and mark of place.

New and Available

One-of-a-kind pieces, ready to ship.

Epoxy Boards

Inspired by storms, tides, and the land of Surge Narrows.

My epoxy boards depict this place — the storms, the tides, the land of Surge Narrows.

Yew Boards

Island yew, slow-grown and enduring.

Some woods are not renewable in a lifetime.

The yew used for these boards came from a single, limited source on Vancouver Island. Once these pieces are gone, there will be no more made from this wood.
​
I work only with what becomes available — not what can be replaced.

Figured Maple Boards

Where grain becomes the story.

The Craft

Boards are cut, shaped, sanded, and finished slowly — often over days. Grain is preserved, not forced. Epoxy is used sparingly, only where it adds to the story.​

 

Every board is finished with my own board balm and meant to be used, not just displayed.
