When you’re looking for a custom table, whether it be for your dining room or your boardroom, it’s helpful to know what type of wood you’d prefer your furniture to be built with. Part of the beauty of commissioning a custom wood table after all is getting to select your wood species. But with so many options, it can be difficult to choose. 

Your home office should never feel stale – after all, it’s uniquely yours. Why not bring a little bit of the outdoors into your office with a solid wood desk? After all, having natural wood in your workspace has been shown to reduce stress. 

We love building custom pieces here at Son of a Woodcutter  – it’s what makes us who we are as a company. Our goal is to help our clients achieve their vision of what’s possible – bringing that vision to life to create beautiful pieces for your home, just as unique as you are.

You’ve probably heard the term “butcher block”. We’ve seen a lot of confusion around this wording. At some point in time, many people started calling any solid wood tables or countertops “butcher block”. (Not to point fingers or anything, but we’re thinking it may have been thanks to Ikea) There is a difference between the two, and treating your counter the same way you would a butcher block could result in long term damage to the wood. So, we think it’s important to make the distinction. 

In traditional Japanese home design, there are three things that are given the utmost importance: simplicity, functionality, and attention to nature and space.

These values are so similar to our values here at Son of a Woodcutter that it’s no wonder we were inspired by Japanese furniture design to create one of our newest dining tables. In a traditional Japanese home, every piece has a function and simple elegance. This is what we aimed for when we designed the Kantan table, which literally means “simple” in Japanese. This simple beauty was designed to look incredible in any home, bringing balance and a healthy dose of nature to your dining room.

We’re seeing floating shelves everywhere lately. They offer a clean and stylish way to display your items on your wall. They’re modern, minimal, and a great option for bathrooms, offices and even kitchens. The downside? Without the right support, they sag, droop, and can be a safety hazard. The struggle is real when it comes to floating shelves. 

With so many tiles and textures to choose from these days, a kitchen redesign can feel more overwhelming than ever. And when it comes to your countertops, you want to be sure to choose something that’s not only pleasing to the eye but durable. A well-designed kitchen puts function first! So why choose wooden countertops for the kitchen?
