Furniture Built For Memories, Not Landfills
At Western Pride Woodworks, we believe furniture should be built once and enjoyed for generations.
A handcrafted table is more than a surface. It becomes part of birthdays, holidays, game nights, quiet conversations, and everyday life.
That is why every dining table, custom board game table, bench, and furniture piece we create is built from premium Canadian hardwoods with long-term beauty, durability, and meaning in mind.

The greatest compliment I can receive isn't simply hearing that a table looks beautiful it's hearing that it has become part of family dinners, celebrations, game nights and everyday life. That's what handcrafted furniture is truly meant for.

Why A Custom Board Game Table Changes Game Night
A board game table is more than furniture.
It becomes the place where family traditions are created, friendships are strengthened, and unforgettable memories are made.
Unlike mass-produced gaming tables, every table we build is designed around your preferred games, available space, and personal style.
Whether you're looking for a dining table that transforms into a gaming table or a dedicated gaming centerpiece, we can create a solution tailored specifically to your family.
Many homeowners also discover that custom board game tables are worth the investment because they become one of the most frequently used pieces of furniture in the home.
Why Families Choose Western Pride
Choosing a custom furniture maker is about far more than selecting a design or a wood species.
It's choosing who you'll trust with a piece that may become part of your family's story for generations.
At Western Pride Woodworks, every project is built by one craftsman from the first conversation to the final delivery, with the same care, attention and pride I'd expect if I were building it for my own home.
One Craftsman From Beginning To End
The person answering your emails is the same person designing, building and finishing your furniture.
Nothing is handed off between departments because there aren't any.
Every question, every decision and every detail stays with the craftsman building your project.
Built Around Your Home, Not A Catalogue
No two homes or families are exactly alike.
Every piece is designed around the way you live, the space you have and the details that matter most to you.
The goal isn't simply to build beautiful furniture.
It's to build furniture that feels like it was always meant to be there.
Honest Advice Before Commitment
The first conversation isn't about making a sale.
It's about understanding your ideas, answering your questions honestly and helping you decide what makes the most sense for your home.
If a simpler solution is the right one, I'll tell you.
If an idea can be improved, we'll improve it together.
Crafted To Be Remembered
Long after the measurements, drawings and finishing coats are forgotten, what remains are the moments your furniture becomes part of.
Family dinners.
Holiday celebrations.
Game nights.
Quiet mornings.
Conversations that last long after the dishes are cleared away.
That's what I believe handcrafted furniture is truly built for.
Beyond Delivery
Every project includes more than furniture.
It includes guidance for caring for your piece, a Heritage Record documenting its story and the reassurance that if you ever have a question in the years ahead, you'll be speaking directly with the craftsman who built it.
A Different Kind of Luxury
Luxury isn't about unnecessary extravagance.
It's about knowing your furniture was thoughtfully designed, honestly built and created to serve your family for generations.
That's the experience I strive to provide with every project that leaves my workshop.
Beautiful furniture can be built in many workshops.
Trust is built one relationship at a time.
The Story Behind Every Custom Table
Most people only see the finished table.
What they don't see are the countless hours spent selecting hardwoods, refining designs, handcrafting joinery, applying finishes, and perfecting every detail.
Every project begins with a conversation about your vision. From there, we carefully select materials, refine the design, build each component, apply durable finishes, and personally prepare every piece for delivery.
The result is furniture built with intention, care, and a commitment to quality that simply cannot be mass-produced.
If you'd like to see exactly what goes into every project, read the story behind a custom board game table.
Every Piece That Lasts Matters
Every year, an estimated 672,000 tonnes of furniture is discarded in Canada, and much of it ends up in landfill instead of serving another generation.
At Western Pride Woodworks, we believe the most environmentally responsible furniture is furniture that doesn't need replacing.
When a solid hardwood table is built to last for decades and hopefully passed down to the next generation that's one less piece destined for the landfill.
"The greenest piece of furniture is the one that's still being loved fifty years from now."
Custom Furniture Designed Around Your Home
No two homes are alike.
That's why every furniture piece we build is designed around your specific space, style, and functional requirements.
Popular projects include:
• Custom Dining Tables
• Mid-Century Modern Dining Tables
• Hallway Tables
• Entryway Tables
• Custom Benches
• Banquette Seating
• One-of-a-kind Furniture Projects
If you can imagine it, we can usually build it.
Our goal is to create furniture that fits your home perfectly while serving your family for generations.
Your Journey Begins Here
Every custom piece begins long before the first board is milled.
It begins with understanding your home, your ideas and how you hope your furniture will become part of everyday life.
From our first conversation to the day your furniture arrives, every step is completed by the same craftsman with the same care and attention to detail.
1. We Listen First
Every project starts with a conversation.
We'll discuss your ideas, answer questions honestly and learn how you hope your furniture will fit into your home and your life.
No pressure.
No obligation.
Just thoughtful planning.
2. Together We Refine The Details
Once we understand your vision, we'll provide a transparent quotation.
Dimensions, wood species, finishes and features are carefully considered ensuring you know exactly what to expect.
3. Built One Piece At A Time
This is where decades of experience meet craftsmanship.
Your furniture is built individually using carefully selected Canadian hardwoods, traditional woodworking techniques and modern precision where it genuinely improves the finished result.
Nothing is mass produced.
Nothing is rushed.
4. Finished With Care
Every surface is carefully prepared and finished to highlight the natural beauty of the wood while providing lasting protection for everyday use.
The goal isn't simply a beautiful finish.
It's a finish worthy of the furniture beneath it.
5. Delivered Ready To Become Part Of Your Story
The final step isn't simply delivery.
It's seeing your furniture take its place in your home, ready for family dinners, celebrations, conversations and memories that may continue for generations.
Long after delivery, I'm always happy to answer questions about caring for your furniture or helping it look its best for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
What hardwoods do you offer?
We work with a carefully selected range of premium Canadian hardwoods, including Black Walnut, White Oak, Red Oak, Ash, Hard Maple, Cherry, and several specialty species when available. Every wood has its own unique character, grain pattern, hardness, and colour. During the design process, we'll help you choose the species that best suits your project, your home's style, and how the furniture will be used.
How long does a custom board game table take?
Board game tables are among the most detailed projects we build. Features such as recessed gaming vaults, removable dining toppers, accessory rails, LED lighting, power outlets, custom joinery, and specialty finishes all require additional craftsmanship. While they often take longer than a traditional dining table, our clients consistently tell us the finished product is well worth the wait. We'd rather deliver an exceptional heirloom than rush a project out the door.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes. We proudly build and deliver custom furniture throughout Ontario and can arrange shipping across most of Canada. Every piece is carefully protected during transport, and we'll work with you to determine the safest and most economical shipping option for your location. White glove delivery options may also be available depending on your area.
What deposit is required?
To reserve your place in our production schedule, we require a deposit. In most cases this is 50% of the total project cost. However, if the cost of materials exceeds 50% of the total project value, we simply ask for the cost of the materials to begin your project. The remaining balance is due upon delivery. For furniture that is being shipped, the final balance is due once your project is completed and ready to leave our shop.
Can I customize every aspect of my project?
Absolutely. Custom means custom. Nearly every aspect of your furniture can be tailored to your needs, including dimensions, wood species, stain colour, finish sheen, base design, edge profiles, hardware, and functional features. For board game tables, we can also customize gaming vault depth, topper configuration, cup holders, accessory rails, storage solutions, LED lighting, power outlets, and many other features.
Do you build Dungeons & Dragons tables?
Yes. We build custom Dungeons & Dragons tables designed specifically for tabletop role-playing games. Whether you're looking for space for maps, miniatures, dice trays, player stations, cup holders, or integrated storage, we'll work with you to design a table that enhances your campaign while remaining beautiful furniture when not in use.
Do you build Warhammer tables?
Absolutely. We design and build custom Warhammer tables for hobbyists who want a premium gaming experience. Whether you're playing Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, or other miniature games, we can incorporate large gaming vaults, storage for terrain and miniatures, accessory systems, and other custom features designed around the way you play.
Can I request 3D renderings before construction begins?
Yes. We offer professional 3D renderings as an optional service for clients who would like to visualize their furniture before construction begins. Renderings allow you to see proportions, materials, colours, and design details, giving you the opportunity to make adjustments before we start building. Many clients find this especially valuable for larger or highly customized projects.
Do you offer delivery and setup?
Yes. We personally deliver many projects throughout Ontario and offer installation when required. For customers outside our local delivery area, we work with trusted transportation partners to safely ship furniture across Canada. Every piece is carefully packaged to ensure it arrives in excellent condition.
Who actually builds my furniture?
Every project is personally handcrafted by me, Derek Lunau, owner and master carpenter of Western Pride Woodworks. I have over 25 years of woodworking experience, and I personally oversee every step of the process from the initial consultation and material selection to the final sanding, finishing, and delivery. When you choose Western Pride Woodworks, you're working directly with the craftsman building your furniture.
Let's Start With a Conversation
The best custom furniture doesn't begin with wood.
It begins with listening.
I'd love to hear about your ideas, your home, and what you hope your furniture will mean to the people who gather around it. Whether your vision is fully developed or just beginning to take shape, we'll explore it together one step at a time.
No salespeople. No pressure. No obligation.
Every project begins with a conversation not a commitment.
The easiest way to begin is by using the contact form below or sending me an email.
Most custom projects naturally start through email because it gives us both the opportunity to share inspiration, discuss ideas, and keep a written record of dimensions, sketches and important details as your project develops.
If a phone call would be helpful later in the process, I'm always happy to arrange one.
Thoughtful communication is part of good craftsmanship.
Because I'm usually in the workshop building furniture, I may not always be able to answer the phone immediately.
I carefully read and personally respond to every email, usually within one business day.
That means you'll always hear directly from the craftsman designing and building your furniture not a salesperson or office staff.
I'd be honoured to help bring your ideas to life.
