Power Woodwork is a group of veteran Thai and Canadian woodworkers and artisans who carefully craft bespoke furniture from recycled hardwoods for both homes and commercial settings. From our workshop in Thailand we build live edge tables along with custom furniture and ship it worldwide.
Our woodworkers bring years of experience working with leading furniture makers. We are not a factory, instead slowing down to create unique pieces. We work with architects to craft all the wood furniture in a house, from tables to cabinets, kitchen islands, flooring, to front-entrance doors. We don’t cut trees, instead searching out and acquiring a large stock of legacy hardwoods often stored for decades.
Power Woodwork is a business is a partnership between Brian Power, a long-time woodworker in Asia, and TMR International Co. Ltd., which has been building wood products such as flooring and doors near Bangkok for more than 30 years.
When we take on a project, we consider ourselves both imaginative artisans who show off the beauty of wood and hard-headed engineers who ensure the wood will remain stable with a finish that will keep through years of use.
As engineers, we own commercial kilns that dry wood for many furniture factories in Thailand. All wood for our products goes through those kilns so it can fit dryer climates if exported. We fit metal bracing into our tables as added insurance to ensure they remain flat. We avoid film finishes, instead turning to oils and waxes that create a beautiful luster with easy maintenance for years to come.
As artisans, we show off the beauty of wood. Building a table of legacy Thai rosewood, we celebrated its beauty by filling cracks on the tabletop with gold leaf. We collaborate with artists, both Thai and international, providing them with interesting wood pieces that become imaginative creations.
