HANDSTONE:
Canadian Craftsmanship
At a time when most consumer goods are mass produced in factories half way around the world, every piece of Handstone furniture is designed and handcrafted in Canada. Not only does this allow the flexibility in manufacturing to offer custom choices, you can rest assured that your new purchase is produced with minimal impact on the environment.
Crafted For Life
In this day and age, not many things are built to last. But Handstone Furniture isn’t one of them. We refuse to compromise. It’s been that way since we started in 1999 as a one-man woodworking shop. Today we remain a family-owned Canadian manufacturer of custom-made, solid wood furniture. We still hand-select the kiln-dried cherry, maple and red oak hardwoods we work with. We continually invest in adding state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to our facilities. And we never forget that the only thing equal to the precision and accuracy of modern manufacturing process is the technique and attention to detail that comes from having a reverence for old world craftsmanship. We practice lean manufacturing methods and each piece is built-to-order. Handstone Furniture is different. It takes a little longer to build. You’ll wait a little longer to get it delivered. But we think you’ll agree...it’s lasting beauty is worth it.
The Handstone Process
From the look, finish, fit and functionality you can tell that one of the trademarks of Handstone Furniture is craftsmanship. It’s something we take old world attention to detail in, but it wouldn’t be possible without our commitment to today’s technology. It starts with the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems to ensure every piece is designed with accuracy and consistency. State-of-the-art CNC machinery is employed so our components are produced with precision. To enhance quality and reduce labour costs we rely on late model equipment in our panel shops. New world and old world combine with the use of both automated sanding and hand sanding of each piece before applying a finish using advanced technologies including post-catalyzed vinyl sealers and post catalyzed conversion varnishes that give our pieces the high quality, consistent finish that is the hallmark of Handstone Furniture.
