The Story Behind True Grain

At True Grain, woodworking is more than a trade — it’s a lifelong craft built on precision, creativity, and passion. Based in Hamilton, Ontario, we specialize in custom carpentry, furniture, and cabinetry, creating handcrafted pieces that bring warmth and character to homes across the Golden Horseshoe. Every project begins with a simple belief: wood tells a story, and it deserves to be shaped with respect and intention.

Founded on years of experience in fine woodworking and finish carpentry, True Grain combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design principles. From the first cut to the final finish coat, every step is handled with care and attention to detail. Our goal is to craft pieces that not only look beautiful but stand the test of time — furniture and built-ins that feel as solid as the homes they’re made for.

We take pride in sourcing locally milled, sustainable hardwoods from trusted Ontario suppliers. By keeping our materials local and our process hands-on, we ensure that every table, vanity, cabinet, or trim detail reflects both quality and integrity. Each design is tailored to your vision, blending functionality, proportion, and timeless style.

At True Grain, we believe the best spaces are built around craftsmanship. That’s why we work closely with homeowners, designers, and builders to create one-of-a-kind pieces that elevate interiors and express individuality. From modern minimalism to rustic charm, every project we build carries our signature attention to detail and respect for the grain.

When you choose True Grain, you’re not just getting custom woodwork — you’re investing in something personal, handcrafted, and built to last for generations. We’re proud to help shape homes that feel authentic, warm, and enduring — one board, one joint, and one story at a time.
