Our Story. Our Craft.
For Daniel, woodworking has been a lifelong passion, beginning in his grade nine woodshop class. After moving from Vancouver to the Kootenays in 2014, he began collecting driftwood and reclaimed timber, transforming overlooked pieces of wood into beautiful, functional works of art.
What began as a passion for giving discarded wood new life has grown into Driftwood Works — a woodworking business built on creativity, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of wood. Today, Daniel brings more than a decade of dedicated experience, an ever-expanding collection of specialized equipment, and a hands-on approach to every project.

From Timber to Timeless
At Driftwood Works, every piece begins with an appreciation for the natural beauty and character of wood. From sourcing and milling locally salvaged timber to carefully drying, shaping, and finishing each piece, we take pride in every stage of the process. By managing our materials from log to finished product, we maintain a hands-on approach to quality, craftsmanship, and creating something truly one of a kind.
We source distinctive logs and reclaimed timber from around the Kootenays, giving remarkable wood a second life.
Using our custom-built Mad Max sawmill, we transform massive logs into beautiful live-edge slabs, revealing the unique character within each tree.
Our large-format Avid CNC machine helps transform rough slabs into flat, workable surfaces ready for furniture making and finishing.
