About Timber Roots
Welcome to Timber Roots, where timeless craftsmanship meets sustainable living.
My name is Kim, and I am the founder, designer, and craftsman behind every product we create. At an age when many people are thinking about retirement, I chose to pursue a lifelong dream—building a woodworking business dedicated to creating beautiful, functional pieces that families can enjoy for years to come.
In 2022, my wife, our daughter, and I immigrated to Canada to begin a new chapter in our lives. Surrounded by Canada's natural beauty, I rediscovered my passion for woodworking. What began as a simple handcrafted cedar planter for my wife, an enthusiastic gardener, quickly grew into Timber Roots.
Today, every planter and cutting board is handcrafted with the same care and attention that inspired that very first project.
Crafted by Hand. Built to Last.
At Timber Roots, we believe quality is never accidental. Every product is carefully handcrafted using premium materials and traditional woodworking techniques. We don't believe in mass production or cutting corners. Instead, we focus on creating products that combine exceptional craftsmanship, durability, and timeless design.
Whether it's a Western Red Cedar raised garden planter or a hardwood edge grain cutting board, each piece is made to become part of your home and your family's story.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Respect for nature is at the heart of everything we do.
We carefully select sustainably sourced hardwoods and naturally durable Western Red Cedar, a renewable material renowned for its longevity and natural resistance to rot and insects. By choosing durable materials and building products that are made to last, we help reduce unnecessary waste and encourage a more sustainable way of living.
Our handcrafted approach also means we manufacture in small batches, minimizing waste while ensuring every product meets the highest standards of quality.
We believe that investing in well-made products is better for both your home and the environment.

Why areTimber Roots planters 24" wide and not 18" wide like most competitors?
Timber Roots planters are 24" wide to provide 33.3% more growing area compared to the standard 18" planters that most competitors offer. This wider design helps promote healthier plant growth by offering more space for roots to spread out, leading to better drainage and air circulation. However, if you prefer an 18" wide planter, we can accommodate that request—please contact us directly!
