From Sketch to Showpiece: Inside the YEG Woodcraft Design Process

Every piece of custom furniture has a story and at YEG Woodcraft, we make sure yours starts with you.

Our design process isn’t about picking a template or choosing from a limited set of options. It’s about taking your vision, lifestyle, and space and turning them into something functional, beautiful, and lasting. Here’s how we make that happen:

1. The Discovery Call

It all starts with a conversation. We don’t just ask about measurements. We ask about your home, how you live, what matters most, and what you wish your last table had done better. This is where we uncover what you actually need not just what you think you want.

🛋️ Planning a growing family?
🍷 Love hosting big Sunday dinners?
🪑 Want something that feels like you, not just what’s trending?

We listen, take notes, and ask the right questions to design for real life.

2. The Concept Sketch

This is where the magic begins. Once we understand your vision, we sketch a concept that reflects your needs, your style, and the proportions of your space. Think of it as the blueprint for something built to last decades.

We show you options table shapes, edge profiles, leg styles and help you visualize how it will live in your space.

3. Material Selection

Here’s where Canadian hardwood takes centre stage. We walk you through wood types (maple, oak, walnut) and help you choose the grain, colour, and finish that best suit your home.

Every slab is hand-selected. Nothing mass-produced. No veneer shortcuts.

4. The Craft Begins

Once the design is approved and materials are sourced, our team of local woodcrafters gets to work. This part of the process is equal parts precision and patience.

Each cut, joint, and finish is done by hand. Not rushed. Not automated. Built with care and built to last.

5. The Finishing Touch

From polyurethane coatings to custom stains, this step ensures your table is both beautiful and durable. We finish for real life spills, hot dishes, kids doing homework and help you choose the right level of protection.

6. Delivery & Install

We don’t just drop it off we place it with care. Our delivery team ensures the piece is set up exactly where and how you want it. You’ll never lift a finger.

And the best part? You’re not left wondering how to take care of it. We walk you through maintenance, seasonal care, and how to keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
