| Our
Philosophy
At South Island Woodworks, our goal is to provide our clients
with the highest quality custom pieces. We aim high, because
we are craftsmen first and then we are businessmen.
We love what
we do!
Attention
to detail means that every piece we make doesn't leave our
shop unless we would bring it home ourselves. Every project,
large or small, commands our attention from the onset of
design to the application of finish to the delivery of the
final piece. We are constantly educating ourselves, and re-educating ourselves, about new products, materials, and ways of accomplishing what we set out to do.
What
is Custom?
The
simple answer is that custom is:
whatever
you want!
When
you visit larger shops that claim to offer "custom"
products, you get choice: From a selection of predetermined
styles and sizes. When you visit us, the sky is the limit.
Obscure shapes and sizes are not limiting factors. Nor are
unique design elements. We will
not hesitate to produce mock-ups of projects
or create a sample of how the piece will be finished.
The
design process starts and ends with you! Your needs and
wants form the direction the design takes. Once
a design has been finalized, we hand pick the materials
to ensure the highest quality.

Ecology 
In using products that are more eco-friendly, we are also using products that are safer for you. We do this by using products made with no-formaldehyde glues, by using low VOC and HAPS free finishes, and by choosing sustainable materials. Also, in making a quality product that will last, we are breaking the cycle of our "disposable" society, where low quality products have to be replaced over and over again.
