Ottawa Cedar Furniture

Ottawa Cedar Furniture High quality affordable handcrafted patio furniture. My name is Janet Levis and this page is intended to help promote my furniture making.

After years at home raising four children I wanted to enter the workforce. Despite having a B.Sc. in biochemistry, and a college diploma in respiratory therapy, I found few options that were of interest. Add the fact that I needed time off in the event that any of my kids were sick or had a snow day made my services of little interest to prospective employers. Given this I decided to look at turni

ng one of my hobbies into a business. I always been interested in woodworking so I threw myself at it with everything I had. I found an online site that taught almost every facet of woodworking (The Woodwhisperer on Youtube) – I went through every video multiple times! I then began taking woodworking classes at Algonquin College, and bought tools every chance I had. Eventually I started selling cedar furniture out of my garage, and now, a few years later I have 2 bays at a commercial complex here in Stittsville, Ontario. I make handcrafted outdoor furniture, mostly out of cedar, but I also use white pine and oak. My oak furniture can be used both indoors and outdoors. I focus on only a few different pieces and am constantly looking at ways to achieve efficiency – this allows me to sell high-quality pieces at very competitive pieces.

After seeing my ads or looking at my web site people often ask what I mean by "Select" grade eastern white cedar. This video answers that question.

This video promotes Claude Bouchard's ice bucket. It is a great add-on for somebody ordering a patio set. Claude is a well-known woodworker in the Ottawa area and his attention to detail is legendary!
