Rick Bowerman’s introduction into joinery and furniture began with early Canadian antiques. While restoring each piece by hand, he learned the difference between a well-crafted piece made from hardwood lumber and those of a more primitive design fashioned from recycled material. Yet all had their own stories to tell, inspired by someone’s passion, care and attention to detail.

Rick was determined to create his own line of furniture imbued with the same quality and craftsmanship characteristic in the antiques he had restored. Hence, the beginning of Bowerman’s Handcrafted Furniture, where traditional design, meticulous attention to detail and a sense of history permeate every piece.
