Handcrafted Wooden Easter Lanterns

Garden Items /

Bring a soft and meaningful touch to your Easter decorating with these handcrafted wooden Easter lanterns. Thoughtfully made in my Abbotsford home workshop, each lantern features a seasonal cutout design that adds warmth, colour, and character to your home. Designed to suit a range of Easter styles, these lanterns are available in 6 unique designs: Bird, Easter Egg, Church, Cross, Three Crosses, and Bunny. Choose from 5 colour options to match your décor, or select an unfinished version for a fun paint-your-own Easter activity. These lanterns work beautifully as shelf décor, table accents, mantel pieces, or thoughtful seasonal gifts. Each one is made from wood, carefully sanded, and finished by hand. Because they are individually handcrafted, no two pieces are exactly alike — giving each lantern its own natural character.

We are Live! Welcome to Under The Deck Woodworking

News /

After years of tinkering, crafting, and sanding away in the various iterations of what has become my little workshop, I am excited to finally share something big… Under The Deck Woodworking is officially open for business — and our brand new website is live! This isn’t just a store launch. It is the public debut of a small, home-based business that’s been quietly taking shape one project, one piece of wood, and one idea at a time. Where Sawdust Becomes Sentiment That is our slogan — and it is at the heart of everything I make. Every project starts as raw wood, shaped carefully by hand, with time and care built into every cut and curve. Whether creating a keepsake, a functional piece for your home, or a small gift for someone special, my goal is to create something that feels personal, meaningful, and lasting. What You’ll Find Here I build small items — no bigger than a table — but each one has its own story. You’ll see: Handmade woodcraft for everyday use Thoughtful gifts with a personal touch One-of-a-kind pieces that are not mass-produced Why This Matters In a world of factory-made and disposable items, Under The Deck Woodworking is about slowing down and making things the old-fashioned way — with intention, care, and character. Take a Look Around The new website is more than just a shop — it’s a place to: Browse available pieces Learn about the process and materials Read stories behind the builds Get in touch for custom projects Thank You for Being Here If you have ever stopped by my workshop, asked what I was building, or encouraged me to share my work, then this launch is in many ways thanks to you. I am really excited for you to explore, connect, and maybe even take home a piece of Under The Deck Woodworking. And follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube for behind-the-scenes projects, new releases, and plenty of sawdust.
