Why the Cost of Tomorrow’s Hardwood Is Higher — and What It Means for Custom Furniture Buyers

Hardwood prices across Canada are increasing due to global demand and supply shortages. Learn how these changes affect custom furniture and how to secure this week’s pricing before the 15–20% increase at YEG Woodcraft.

Introduction (H2)

Wood tells a story of time — but lately, it’s also telling a story of cost.
Across Canada, hardwood prices for maple, oak, and walnut are rising due to limited supply, shipping delays, and growing demand. For homeowners dreaming of a custom table or timeless furniture piece, that means the cost of tomorrow’s hardwood is higher.

At YEG Woodcraft, we believe in transparency and timeless craftsmanship. Here’s why hardwood prices are increasing — and how you can still lock in today’s rate before the market shifts again.

1. Why Hardwood Prices Are Rising (H2)

1.1 Global Demand and Material Shortage (H3)

Sustainable, solid-wood furniture has never been more popular. With homeowners moving away from fast-furniture options, global demand for high-quality hardwoods has surged — creating a supply crunch across Canada and the U.S.

1.2 Supply Chain and Processing Costs (H3)

Post-pandemic shipping challenges and increased processing costs have added another layer of strain. From lumber mills to local deliveries, every link in the supply chain now carries higher expenses.

1.3 Local Sourcing Pressure (H3)

Even with YEG Woodcraft’s commitment to local sourcing, domestic suppliers are affected by export demand. The result: the same slab of walnut that cost one amount last month may be 15–20% higher tomorrow.

2. How It Affects Custom Furniture Buyers (H2)

A 15–20% material increase doesn’t just impact factories — it touches every handmade project.
For customers planning a dining table, desk, or coffee table, waiting even a week could mean a significant difference in total cost.

Each YEG Woodcraft project is built from carefully selected lumber batches. Once current stock is gone, new materials arrive at the higher market rate. That’s why we’re encouraging clients to book their consultation today — before the new prices take effect.
