Understanding Wood Movement: Why Quality Craftsmanship Matters

Wood is alive — even after it’s been crafted into furniture. It expands and contracts with humidity, making quality craftsmanship essential.

At True Grain Woodworking, we build every custom table, vanity, and cabinet in Hamilton, Ontario to account for wood movement. Our joinery and design methods prevent warping, cracking, and splitting over time.

We understand how Ontario’s changing seasons affect hardwood. That’s why we use floating panels, reinforced joints, and carefully controlled finishes to allow natural movement.

The result? Furniture that stays stable and beautiful for generations. True Grain’s craftsmanship ensures your piece not only looks perfect on day one — but still does decades later.
