As
a
master
woodsmith,
Craig's
Wood
is
constantly
pushing
the
boundaries
of
what
can
be
achieved
in
the
ancient
art
of
woodturning
by
producing
affordable
pieces
from
salvaged
softwood.
Hailing
from
Winnipeg,
Craig
has
retired
from
a
successful
career
in
the
fast-paced
world
of
IT
to
pursue
his
passion
for
creating
stunning
pieces
of
functional
art
and
physical
deliverables.
Working
from
a
humble
8x12
shed
in
the
charming
neighborhood
of
South
Osborne,
Craig
utilizes
his
keen
eye
and
skilled
hands
to
transform
salvaged
and
often
overlooked
softwood
into
breathtaking
works
of
art.
With
a
strong
aversion
to
waste,
Craig
takes
great
care
in
utilizing
every
part
of
the
wood,
ensuring
that
each
piece
tells
a
story
and
has
a
purpose.
His
ethical
and
sustainable
approach
to
art
is
reflected
in
his
choice
of
finishes,
utilizing
either
a
shop-made
vegan-friendly
polish
using
Manitoba
hemp
seed
oil
or
a
luxurious
beeswax
from
a
local
apiary.
Craig's
pieces
can
be
found
at
various
local
markets,
making
his
art
accessible
to
all
who
appreciate
true
craftsmanship
and
conscious
consumption.
