obsidian WOODWORKING

My name is Chad Hayes, and I’ve been a woodworker for nearly 20 years. I spent most of my life in North and South Carolina, before moving to Canada in 2023. I am now working out of a tiny shop in Treherne, Manitoba (expanding into the garage as the weather allows).

I enjoy working with local and reclaimed lumber and letting the character of each piece of wood guide my work. I create a variety of products, from custom furniture and home decor to canoe paddles and guitars. If there’s something special you’re looking for, chances are I can build it.
