Story

The Twisted Pine Woodworking Co. was founded in 2016 by myself, Retired Navy Veteran Daniel Kass. With over 15 years of woodworking experience from what started out as a love for woodworking when taking shop class in high school at Wellington Secondary School in Nanaimo, I took my love of hand skills to the Military and became a Hull Technician for the Canadian Armed Forces for 9 years. There is where I tuned my hand skills in all aspects of woodworking, metalworking and other trades like plumbing, HVAC & Firefighting, but woodworking was always my number one love.

Being injured in 2012 and then subsequently medically released from the Canadian Armed Forces in 2015, I had to decide what my career path would be since it was just thrown for a major loop. So I decided why not continue my love of woodworking and share it with others. And that is how The Twisted Pine Woodwork Co. came to be.

The Twisted Pine Woodworking Co. specializes in custom furniture with a rustic, cottage, farmhouse type of feel. The feeling of relaxation and calmness when you see and look at the piece is what we strive for. All hand made by myself, every piece is unique. From each piece of wood to each type of stain, the finished project will be a unique piece for you to keep. Made from hand picked spruce, fir, or pine, unless otherwise stated or ordered, you will get a strong yet cozy piece of furniture that makes you feel like you are out at the cottage for a weekend getaway, but it’s there for your everyday use.
