About Us

Timber & Tools was born in 2014 with one simple mission: to support and inspire woodworkers of all skill levels. Our founder, James Bennett, grew up in a family of woodworkers in Ontario. As a child, he would spend hours in his grandfather’s workshop, watching raw pieces of wood transform into heirloom furniture. The smell of fresh sawdust, the hum of hand tools, and the stories behind each creation sparked James' lifelong love for woodworking.

After years of working in carpentry and cabinet-making, James noticed a growing need for a store that offered not only high-quality tools and materials but also a sense of community. Too many woodworkers were left struggling with subpar tools or lacked access to sustainable and well-sourced wood. Determined to change this, James launched Timber & Tools as an online platform to serve makers across Canada.

What started as a small shop offering premium hand tools has grown into a comprehensive hub for woodworkers. By 2017, we partnered with leading manufacturers, local mills, and trusted suppliers to offer tools that combine precision, durability, and craftsmanship. We introduced responsibly sourced Canadian hardwoods, custom tool kits, and expert advice for beginners and seasoned artisans alike.

Today, Timber & Tools has become a trusted name in the woodworking community. We continue to grow, guided by a commitment to quality, education, and sustainability. From chisels and planes to wood finishing supplies and instructional resources, we equip you with everything you need to bring your woodworking projects to life.
