Tofino Woodshop is commited to providing high quality furniture from salvaged Western Red Cedar. Most of our lumber comes rough cut from a local sawmill up the coast from Tofino BC. They salvage the wood themselves from the waters around Clayoquot Sound. In addition, we operate our own bandsaw mill at our shop, when we are able to salvage our own Western Red Cedar logs. Due to the outstanding beauty of Western Red Cedar, it is highly sought after by the logging industry. For this reason it is important for us to use cedar from salvaged sources, so the existing old growth cedar will remain in its natural environment. Therefore preserving a dwindling population due to logging.
