Our Craftsmen
Every cut, curve, and joint at Smith Carpentry is the result of our dedicated team of carpenters, designers, and artisans who share a common passion for woodworking.
A Legacy Carved Through Time
Our roots in carpentry run deep, shaped by generations of skilled hands. Our founder, Oscar Smith, continues this tradition, blending his love for classic woodworking with modern innovation to create not just furniture, but works of art.
The Early Years: A Passion Ignited
From a young age, Oscar was captivated by the transformation of raw wood into beautiful, functional objects under the skilled hands of his father and grandfather, both master carpenters. His childhood was filled with countless hours in the family workshop, where he learned the value of patience, precision, and creativity.
The Apprenticeship: Laying the Foundation
Oscar's formal journey began at sixteen, apprenticing under renowned carpenters in a large, prestigious firm. Over the years, he mastered the intricacies of carpentry, from complex joinery techniques to selecting the perfect wood grains for each project.
Expanding Horizons: From Apprentice to Master
After completing his apprenticeship, Oscar ventured beyond his local community to work with various master carpenters across Norway. This period was marked by diverse projects—from restoring ancient wooden structures to innovating in modern furniture design. Each experience enriched his skills and broadened his understanding of wood's potential, laying the groundwork for his unique approach that seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary aesthetics.
Sustainability Philosophy
Under Oscar's leadership, Smith Carpentry is committed to sustainable practices, using locally sourced timber and eco-friendly materials. This commitment ensures that the beauty of their work is matched by their respect for the environment.
