Our story

Where carbon becomes craft.

A hands-on practice built around useful material, thoughtful design and the belief that distinctive wood deserves a meaningful second life.

Meet Marty

A lifetime around trees and wood.

Marty, CarbonCraft’s owner, began working with trees and woodworking as a teenager in Atlantic Canada. More than 25 years later, he is following in his father’s footsteps and turning that experience into a full-time craft.

CarbonCraft brings together practical problem-solving, hands-on woodworking, epoxy, metal fabrication and a willingness to develop unconventional methods when an individual piece calls for them.

“The goal is not to erase the history of the wood. It is to reveal it—and build something worthy of keeping.”

By turning locally sourced, reclaimed and character-rich wood into durable furniture, CarbonCraft extends its useful life and keeps a portion of the tree’s carbon stored in a lasting piece.
