David Barker Victoria BC Canada

About

David lives and works in Victoria on Vancouver Island British Columbia. Over the last few years he has designed and built a selection of tables made of Vancouver Island woods, primarily Western Maple, Arbutus, Garry Oak and Yew. The pieces are designed to showcase the colors and beautiful grain of the wood. This is not found in commercial furniture. The style is modern west coast, with sleek lines and some Pacific Rim influence.



To work all day beside my bench,
Is just like days of old,
But when it's done, and all cleaned up,
There’s something to behold.
