The Barking Axe

About

The Barking Axe is a family run company that produces custom woodwork, joinery & furniture

Our focus is on one of a kind pieces including custom built ins, unique furniture, staircases and anything that requires a woodworker from concept and design to installation. We also excel in elements of metal work integrated into our projects.

Our range is quite large as we do small joinery projects as well as large scale shop fitting and feature walls. From farmhouse to modern, we cater to every aesthetic and style.

We are an Australian based company that was first established in Canada in 2017 with a focus on bringing quality and custom craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Our name comes from one of the tools used by lumberjacks to strip bark off of logs in the early 1900's. Companies would pay more for peeled lumber, thus making this particular axe an important blade in the lumberjacks repertoire.

Our Philosophy

Testimonials

I have worked with many commercial builders in the past and I was genuinely impressed and grateful at how much pride The Barking Axe took in their craftsmanship. Building hospitality businesses from the ground up requires finesse and attention to detail that has an enduring and lasting appeal. The Barking Axe went above and beyond our expectations to ensure that we were happy with the end result.

As a kitchen designer, I have had the pleasure of working with Burt on many millwork projects. He is knowledgeable and professional from the start of the installation through the completion of the project. His attention to detail, communication skills and creative solutions on site were all essential elements in providing my clients with the best result possible. Working with Burt was always a wonderful experience.
