ur Story
DK Woodworks, like many other small business, was established with the goal of achieving success and making a positive impact on the world around us. Whether it is through assisting others or creating transformative products, our origins are rooted in a deep passion for wood, the art of Shou Sugi Ban, and a rich family history of entrepreneurship and hard work.
​
​We are dedicated to delivering exceptional craftsmanship and providing superior customer service. This commitment extends to our continuous efforts in developing innovative manufacturing methods and emphasizing the environmental advantages of this ancient technique.
Shou Sugi Ban
Our approach to Shou Sugi Ban is to honour the traditional techniques while incorporating new and innovative finishes. This allows us to showcase the natural beauty of wood grain and create products that possess a unique and elevated textural quality. ​​The technique of Shou Sugi Ban is an environmentally conscious process that protects the wood against fire, mold, insects and avoids the use of harmful pollutants. It does not rely on chemicals that could potentially harm the environment. This method serves as a sustainable solution for protecting all your interior and exterior wood applications. The DK Shou Sugi Ban technique can be reapplied, allowing for the selection of new coatings and, in most instances, we can also treat reclaimed wood.

“From design to colours selections, communication and follow up, working with Zana and Ryan is second to none. Building our pool was such a stressful time but as soon as we entered DK Woodworks' show room those feelings disappeared very quickly. Their love and passion for what they do comes through the product and you will not be disappointed."
