Beautiful hand-crafted furniture by Bill Pyke

A lifetime of working with wood - a partnership of design & materials

Bill Pyke used mahogany veneer for the reception desk at Bridgewater Chiropractic, as shown below.

"The trick," recalls Dr. Laurel Cowie, "was to bend it without cracking. He has an excellent understanding of finishing - I was assured it would be beautiful and it would stand up - it is, and it does."

From left, this remarkable desk welcomes clients into Bridgewater Chiropractic. The second photo features a mahogany table for the sanctuary commissioned by Bridgewater United Church.

From left, a stained birch entertainment centre; Bridgewater United Church commissioned Bill Pyke to build a lectern; and finally Bill renewed this table, adapting it to handle two new leaves he built. The addition extended it to nine feet, comfortably seating 14 - perfect for a gathering of friends and family. The top is built out of ash, the skirts are maple and the legs are birch. When Bill was finished, it was all one beautiful shade.
