When it comes to Nature's Edge Wood Design Steve's Philosophy is simple. "With strong ties to the outdoors and nature I have always had a keen interest in working with reclaimed and salvaged wood. Taking a piece of wood that  some else has discarded, or that will lay on the beach and rot or be burned in a burn pile, and enhancing the natural beauty and turning it into something useful is very rewarding for me."


"I get a lot of inspiration for my work, as well as the majority of my material, while walking our dog on the beaches of Discovery Passage near our home in Campbell River. Finding and working with the wood I salvage from the beaches has become a full time passion. Each piece I work with has completed a journey from its origins, which can be from far up a mainland river or a South or Central American jungle, to its time spent drifting around in the saltwater of the Pacific Ocean, to its final destination here on the shores of Discovery Passage."
