About the Studio - Timberline Workshop

Our Story

Founded on Tradition

Timberline Workshop was born from a deep appreciation for the timeless art of woodworking and a desire to preserve traditional craftsmanship skills in our modern world. Founded in 2020, our workshop represents the culmination of years of experience, learning, and passion for working with wood.

We believe that each piece of wood has its own story to tell, and our role is to honor that story while creating something new and meaningful. From the selection of raw materials to the final finish, every step is approached with respect for the material and commitment to excellence.

Local Roots, Global Vision

Located in the heart of Vancouver, BC, we draw inspiration from the region's rich natural resources and thriving arts community. Our workshop is built on the foundation of sustainable practices, using locally sourced materials whenever possible and supporting the local economy.

While our roots are firmly planted in British Columbia, our vision extends globally. We strive to create pieces that will be treasured for generations, contributing to the ongoing story of fine craftsmanship and design.
