Beautiful hand-crafted furniture by Bill Pyke

Fine woodworking Nova Scotia

This custom, handcrafted dining room table by Bill Pyke comfortably seats eight.

Bill Pyke used mahogany veneer for the reception desk at a hiropractic in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, 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."

Clockwise from left top, a stained birch entertainment centre; another custom hardwood entertainment center; Bill Pyke 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. And lastly, Bridgewater United Church commissioned him to build this lectern.
