Steve Willgoose brings over 30 years of wood working experience to the table.

He designs and transforms local Western Maple trees into high quality 
“live edge” dining tables, occasional and boardroom tables. 

For home or business.

All logs used are local Sunshine Coast wood, Reclaimed or rescued. And are carefully chosen, then cut, dried, milled and finally transformed into amazing tables.
All work is done by owner Steve Willgoose on BC's Sunshine Coast.
 

His style a mix of Mission/Craftsman (early 1900's) with a West Coast twist of figured maple and sometimes natural edge, natural cracks and bark inclusions.
Also using solid iron on some tables.

He does not really get into the latest "trends"  like colored glowing resins, "bowties"  "dogbones"  "Pebbles under glass rivers", and whatever the next fad will be.

His goal is to keep each table as natural looking as possible. 
 Will you still want a blue glowing river in your table in 5 years?
Remember shag carpet and popcorn ceilings?
Enough said.

Steve will makes each piece timeless.

I believe a table built in this shop will hold it's value
and even go up in value over the years you own it.

Table wood is brought inside the shop from 2-4 years before it can start to be made into a table.
During that time it goes through many different stages including air drying and forced dehumidification tracking. 

Purchasers can relax in knowing "Willgoose Wood" is a lifelong company.
Steve Willgoose knows his clients and the quality they will expect.
