Over the course of the existence of Eternal Timber and Design we have built over 3203 pieces ranging from fireplace mantels to 20ft long executive Boardroom Tables. That's roughly over 500 items per year, over 40 items per month. Each day we wake up grateful to still be here. As a small business we work very hard (7 days a week hard) to keep the lights on and to feed our families. Eternal Timber and Design was and still is a vision of Shawn Wiebe's who's desire is to set the standard of excellent in fine custom furniture. Thank you very much to all of our clients over the years for shopping and supporting a local business.

As things slowly get back to our "new normal" we encourage you to email or call before coming down to our shop/office as we may not be around. Customers are currently placing orders and providing deposits to secure their furniture. If you have a design in mind, please email us at sales@eternaltimber.com to request a quote or call or text us at 778-753-1227
How are you responding to COVID-19? We are taking additional precautions to ensure our workshop and the materials we use are sanitized prior to handcrafting tables to keep everyone safe. Our operations team have been working remotely since the middle of March. Can I place an order during COVID-19? Yes! Customers are currently placing orders and providing deposits to secure their furniture. If you have a design in mind, please email us sales@eternaltimber.com to request a quote or call or text us at 778-753-1227 between the hours of 9 am to 5 pm. Is the procedure for pickup or dropping off changed during COVID-19? Yes it has slightly, keeping with the recommendation and taking initiatives from other businesses we are trying our best to limit our exposure. We will be offering a "curbside" option - when picking up or dropping off there will be a table on wheels outside in-front of the garage door for Unit 5 - 1580 Innovation Drive (to the right of the office door.) This table will either be empty so you can drop off your item or it will be full with your item. If you have any concerns while picking up or dropping off please call 778-753-1227. Alternatively, we can provide you with a delivery quote. This blanket wrapped service is provided by New Age Delivery where your furniture is wrapped carely to ensure safe transport and delivered directly into your home or at the curb depending on your isolation practice. other Frequently Asked Questions Though our durable finish adds some UV protection, every slab of wood is a natural material that is vulnerable to some color change with exposure to light, particularly during the first year. To avoid irregularities in the natural darkening or lightening process (respective to the wood species), we recommend occasionally moving any decor or place-settings around your table. If an irregularity does occur, have patience – with regular exposure to light it will level out with the surrounding wood.What is your refund/exchange policy?
Due to the highly customized nature of each piece of furniture, no refunds or exchanges are offered by Eternal Timber and Design. The exception to this policy is if your furniture is damaged during shipment to you. We will send you pictures of your furniture to be approved by you prior to shipping. If your furniture arrives damaged, please contact us to discuss a solution. Does Eternal Timber and Design offer a warranty? Eternal Timber offers a 6 month warranty on our furniture. If you experience any issues with your furniture, please take a picture and send to us so we can determine the issue. If there is any separation of any glue joint, this will be covered under warranty (as long as all instructions for care and warranty were followed on this page). If the issue is due to lack of care and maintenance, the item will not be covered by our warranty. If the damage is covered under warranty, we will either repair the damage, or pay for the return shipment of the table and the shipping cost to send the item back to you. Since our furniture items are one of a kind, it may take up to 6 months to find the specific wood (if needed) and produce your table. How does Eternal Timber and Design handle shipping my furniture? Eternal Timber has shipped hundreds of tables to satisfied customers all over North America. Our quoted pricing includes shipping and curbside delivery. All of our products are shipped in a sturdy, concealed crate and wrapped. We will provide you a tracking number on the day your furniture leaves our shop, shipping times are approximate and can be delayed due to holidays, border crossings and logistics. Please note that the delivery people are not allowed to bring the furniture into your house due to liability reasons. You will need to have enough people ready to move the furniture into your house or commercial space. Eternal Timber and Design pays for all clearance paperwork and border fees for exporting from Canada to the US. For shipments to any country outside of the US, the customer needs to pay any customs/border fees. Does Eternal Timber and Design insure my furniture delivery? Yes, every piece of furniture that leaves our shop is insured against damage. How long does it take to produce my furniture? Every piece of furniture that Eternal Timber and Design produces is a one of a kind piece, designed and built just for you. Typically we take between 4 and 6 weeks to finish your furniture. Once completed we will contact you to arrange pick-up or delivery. Where do you source your wood? All of our wood is sourced from Canada (black walnut, maple, ash). All of our wood is sourced sustainably, we do not buy wood that has been clear cut, but instead mostly work with arborists who need to take down old trees. What is the ideal environment for our furniture? To avoid excessive warping or cracking, your furniture should be in a cool environment (18-23 C, 64-73 F) with relative humidity of 38-45%, and a bit of air movement is ideal for wood furniture in general. A sudden change in temperature or humidity is very damaging to wood furniture as moisture can be pulled out or seep into the wood too quickly, causing tension in the wood fibers. Excessive heat and dryness can cause cracking and splitting. Can sunlight damage my furniture? Yes, though our durable finish adds some UV protection, every slab of wood is a natural material that is vulnerable to some color change with exposure to light, particularly during the first year. To avoid irregularities in the natural darkening or lightening process (respective to the wood species), we recommend occasionally moving any decor or place-settings around your table. If an irregularity does occur, have patience – with regular exposure to light it will level out with the surrounding wood. What about in floor/radiant heating? You should avoid placing your furniture on flooring that has radiant heating. This is especially important if your table has wooden legs. The constant heat from the in floor heating pulls the moisture out of the wood and will further promote splitting, cracking and warping. The warranty is VOID if your furniture has been placed on a floor with radiant heat. Is it safe to put any hot object on my furniture? How about liquid? Avoid placing any extremely hot objects on your furniture, as they may ruin the wood and mark the finish. Do not leave standing water on your table for any length of time. The finish on the table will withstand everyday spills of liquid (water, wine, etc.) but be sure to wipe it up quickly and not leave standing liquid for any length of time. Can I place a tablecloth on my dining table? We suggest using an organic material table cloth, and never vinyl or glass as these prevent air circulation which may promote warping of the wood. There are small cracks in my table, is this normal? Small cracks in the surface of your wood furniture piece is normal due to the natural movement of the wood. You may notice lifting or cracking of the epoxy or resin fills, this is from the natural movement of the wood and is normal and not covered by our warranty. Movement/small cracking around the pith (centre) of the tree, knots and natural imperfections in the wood are also normal. Teachers of the Okanagan Valley participated in an informational couples hours talking about wood finishing, different processes and of course the ART of Working with Epoxy.
