Duncan started with woodworking as a child in his father’s woodshop and has had a passion for working with wood ever since.
He spent over two decades working in oil and gas before deciding that he needed to be doing carpentry for the rest of his life. And just like that Blackbeard’s Woodworking was born.
Blackbeard’s Woodworking was started in 2020 and has been an active part of the Calgary woodworking scene since. It all started with a small woodshop in the city and has grown into a fully functional urban lumber salvage and milling operation.
I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The
development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form…
Donna Karan
I couldn't live a week without a private library - indeed, I'd part with all my furniture and squat
and sleep on the floor before I'd let go of the 1500 or so books I possess.
H. P. Lovecraft
All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth - in a word, all those bodies which
compose the frame of the world - have not any subsistence without a mind.
George Berkeley
