Son of a Woodcutter was started back in 2012 by Jack Fouracre, who grew up in the English countryside. Born the son of a woodcutter, he developed a passion for carpentry early on. But it wasn’t until he moved to Toronto, Canada that he founded Son of a Woodcutter. With most furniture options coming flat-packed in cardboard and a lot of low quality items on the market, he knew there was something missing.

It’s safe to say that 2020 has been full of the unexpected. We’ve had the opportunity to work on some incredible projects this year, including our favourite – a 27ft boardroom table built for a company in Toronto.

Choosing the right dining table seems simple enough, until you start measuring your space, taking into account all of the little details, and daydreaming about hosting dinner parties. We get it. It can feel a bit overwhelming to figure out exactly what size of dining table you should get, or what style would look best in your dining area or eat-in kitchen. 

You’ll want to choose a dining table that complements your space and feels functional. And of course, you should opt for a piece of furniture that is built-to-last and sturdy.

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.
