Island Grove Woodwork

Have you recently purchased your dream home? Island Grove Woodwork has what you need to make your new home uniquely yours. You can customize any piece you desire, from clocks, floating shelves, wine racks and candle holders up to large dining room tables, coffee, sofa and end tables, kitchen, vanity and bar counter tops. They commonly use walnut, maple, cherry, ash, oak and some exotic woods as they become available. Each piece is custom made and the slabs are sourced from select Ontario mills, because of the thickness of the wood these pieces can be refinished numerous times and can be passed down from generation to generation.

Island Grove Woodwork’s unique creations are an investment piece for generations to come!

Janet has used an etching technique called Scraffito a process of painting and etching a design on greenware, or raw clay. By applying a clear glaze and wax over the birch tree design before the glaze stage which results in a whimsical folkart feel.
