Frank De Jong is an artist and custom furniture maker and we are happy to showcase some of his beautiful unique home decor pieces. Frank only uses reclaimed local wood, whether being cut down because it's too close to power lines or has fallen due to mother nature. In our collection all the wood used is walnut. Frank thinks mother nature does a wonderful job at making wood look beautiful, therefore Frank does not stain or dye any of the wood he uses in his creations, a linseed finish with a touch up of beeswax is all these beauties need to show of the wonderful lines, colours and texture of the tree.

To add a touch of modern elements to his work Frank cast's large scale replicas of a screw to use as a coat hook. The type of screw he uses as a model was invented in Canada and all materials used to cast the screw are also made in Canada. Pair those two elements with all Canadian and local wood and you've got yourself a one of kind 100% Canadian piece of home decor.....cool, eh!

You really have to come and see these pieces up close, the detail and colours in the wood is absolutely beautiful and the detail oriented craftsmanship Frank puts into the work is definitely evident.

Don't forget about our new installment plan...you can purchase these pieces with monetary installments that best suit your budget within a 3 month time frame.

Now come on in and check them out for yourself wood ya! (sorry we couldn't resist the pun)
