Workmanship

Bowls

Gary turns bowls of various shapes and sizes. They range in size from 12 inches in diameter to 28 inches in diameter. They are round, oval or even rectangular. They come with smooth edges, barked edges or waned. Gary hand picks logs from various logging sites throughout Eastern Ontario. His wood of choice is red maple because of its unique grain patterns, producing an array of designs so that each bowl is a one-of-a-kind creation. He also uses cherry wood, ash and hickory. People purchase Gary’s bowls for many different uses. They are beautiful, yet very functional, for salads, breads, pastas, fruit or even as a decorative show piece for your home. Each piece is made with care, patience and many hours of work.

Boards & Platters

Just like the unique and exquisite bowls, Matthews Studio also hand carves various charcuterie boards and platters. Each board is handcrafted with meticulous detail and made out of top quality wood. The boards and platters can be used for a variety of purposes such as a charcuterie board, decorative piece, or serving tray. Matthews hand carves and turns each wood board, creating a truly Canadian feel in each of his works.


Gary and Curtis hand chose logs from various logging sites throughout Eastern Ontario for their platters. Similar to the bowls, their wood of choice is red maple because of its unique grain patterns, producing an array of designs so that each platter is a one-of-a-kind creation. They also use Black Walnut, Black Ash and Cherry.
