rtwood Design was contracted by the owner of Inglenook House to design and craft custom bookshelves to match the existing Arts and Crafts millwork and architectural features. True to the Arts and Crafts philosophy, the bookshelves and stereo stand at the bookshelves centre, were crafted from fir, one of the most plentiful woods available at the turn-of-the-century or even now.

The house was completely renovated just prior to Artwood Design's completion of the bookshelves. The shelves incorporate parts of the original home, including the two posts at each side of the stereo shelves. The two posts were milled from original first-growth fir beams originally used as structural beams to support the house.

Bill Weber, Artwood Design's owner, showed the same sensitivity to this private residence as he did for one of Canada's historic buildings--the Canadian Pacific Railway's Lake Louise Station. At the Lake Louise Station, Bill Weber used 100 year old leather to cover Arts and Crafts furniture he crafted for the rejuvenated building.

Artwood Design's care has been rewarded with positive media coverage, including coverage of his work at Inglenook House in Style: 1900 Magazine. The photo (top left) of his work accompanies an article from the magazine.
