About Us

Hi, I’m Rob

From Hobby to Heartwood

What started as a weekend hobby quickly grew into something I could not stop thinking about. I have always loved working with my hands, and building something from a simple plank of wood has a kind of magic to it.
Under The Deck Woodworking is my personal workshop — not a business with staff, not a factory — just me, real tools, and real wood.

My Story

For years, woodworking has been my creative outlet and my place of peace. I take pride in making things that are not only beautiful to look at but also built to last. Whether it’s a shelf, a bench, or a small keepsake, my goal is always the same — to create something meaningful that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Core Values

Craft with Intention

Every piece is made by hand, one at a time. No shortcuts or mass production. Just thoughtful design and honest effort.

Celebrate the Material

We work with wood the way it was meant to be, by valuing its natural grain, imperfections, and beauty.

Sawdust Means Something

Behind each item is time, care, and quiet craftsmanship. It is a labour of love to be shared and remembered.

Keep It Real

We are a small shop, not a factory floor. What you see is what you get: honest work, made by real hands, for real people.

Workshop Location

Based in Abbotsford, BC, my shop is where ideas come to life. Every cut, sand, and layer of finish happens here — no outsourcing. Visitors by appointment only.
