In the Shop of Knots & Steel
It all begins outside our shop in the Kawartha Lakes.
We source logs that would be turned into firewood or discarded to the landfill site and change it into unique art and furniture.
Fresh logs are selected from our stock and then put through our sawmill to be cut into useful natural live edge wood slabs.
As the lumber comes out from the mill, it then goes inside an air drying shed for about 6 - 10 months. Once our wood has been air dried, it then goes into our kiln to finish the drying. The kiln dried wood then goes into our shop to be arranged and stacked.
Natural edge wood cut on our mill and ready to start the drying process. These wide live edge Sugar Maple slabs will make some nice looking tables and kitchen islands.
Our sun powered wood kiln is always loaded up with thick wood slabs, and are dried nice and slow. Its a great way to save energy.

It has some nice wild and crazy grain with tons of unique character.
These larger boards are great for family gatherings, wedding showers, wine and cheese party's, dessert trays, or just any large event.

It is amazing how salvaged wood can come back to life with its wonderful shape and beautiful colours from its grain and structural figure.
Handmade wood and steel furniture can be personalised to suit your home or office decor.
We have many different sizes and species of hardwood for you to choose from for us to design and build your handcrafted rustic or classic furniture.
The Knots & Steel shop has a fully equipped welding and fabricating area to custom make all of our industrial steel frames, legs and bases for our customers custom projects. This way we can design and build what you want.
A new live edge butternut slab that that will be used for a cocktail table or a small bar top.
It will be fitted to a industrial metal frame that we will design and build in our shop.
The holes with the dips and natural curves in this wood are spectacular and very interesting just to look at, so we have decided to leave them alone and just do some minor finishing on them.
The sanded wood slab then had a full hand rub finish to give that real wood look and feel.
We are working on a very nice bookmatch Black Cherry kitchen table, that will be ready for finishing very soon.
We have custom fabricated bold thick sawbuck style steel industrial legs and frame work for this table.
We do all our steel work at our own shop, this way we can design the steel to suit the natural curves and shape of the live edge wood slabs.
Watch for this table this week!
There is also a matching live edge wooden slab bench to match.
Here is a long bathroom vanity top made with Black walnut.
We wet sanded this live edge slab starting at 80 grit all the way up to 220 grit sandpaper.
It has a nice low sheen in the finish, just the way we like it.
This is also a book match set, and we glued the two of them together.
After it is nice and dry, it will then go to a new home to be installed.
The holes for the vessel sinks will be drilled on site.
