Custom Handcrafted Furniture | North Vancouver BC
Updated: Sep 17
North Vancouver homes have a unique character. They boast stunning mountain views, mature trees, and a lifestyle that connects residents to the outdoors more than in most places in BC. The furniture in these homes should reflect this essence. At The Plane and Nail Co., we specialize in crafting custom, handcrafted pieces designed to last a generation in such beautiful spaces.
We're located in Chilliwack, BC, about an hour east of North Vancouver via the Trans-Canada Highway. Every piece we create is made by hand, to order, in our workshop. There are no catalogues, no flat-pack solutions, and no compromises. You choose the wood species, dimensions, and finish, and we handle the rest.
Dining Tables Built for North Shore Living
Our most popular item among North Vancouver clients is a solid hardwood dining table. We often use white oak or black walnut, paired with a base that complements the room. We've crafted everything from clean, tapered Scandinavian-style legs for older character homes to sleek steel spider bases for modern builds featuring concrete floors and expansive windows.
Every table we create begins with a conversation. You share details about the room—ceiling height, flooring, and lighting—and we help you explore wood species, sizing, edge profiles, and base styles. Most clients arrive with a rough idea and leave with a piece that exceeds their expectations.
White Oak vs. Black Walnut — Which Is Right for Your Home?
White oak is currently our most requested species, and for good reason. Its light tone and subtle grain movement make it versatile, fitting beautifully in both warm and cool-toned interiors. It also withstands daily use exceptionally well. If your North Van home is filled with natural light, white oak will truly shine.
On the other hand, black walnut offers a different kind of beauty. Its rich, dark hue and striking grain add character to any space. This wood is perfect for homes with darker interiors, leather furniture, or a more dramatic design palette. When paired with a steel base, it becomes one of the most visually appealing tables we offer.
Conference Tables and Commercial Work
The North Shore is home to a vibrant small-business and professional community, including architects, designers, financial firms, and creative studios. We cater to these businesses as well. A custom conference table often serves as the centerpiece of a boardroom or studio, conveying a message about the company's values and professionalism. We can build tables to seat anywhere from 6 to over 20 people, using any wood species, complete with cable management and custom sizing from the outset.
In addition to conference tables, we also specialize in millwork. This includes built-ins, shelving, and custom cabinetry. If you're renovating and need something that fits your space perfectly, we can create it.
