About

Hello! I'm Charles, the proud owner of woodNarrative. Woodworking has been a lifelong passion of mine, kindled by early experiences with my aunt, who was a rattan supplier and owned a rattan furniture business in the Philippines. Her workshop was a sanctuary of craftsmanship, and I was captivated by the intricate processes of design, wood selection, milling, and construction.

One vivid memory stands out: watching her team create an entire set of furniture using only steam-bent wood—no screws or nails involved. This formative experience laid the groundwork for woodNarrative. My curiosity and hands-on approach define my work, embodying the essence of woodworking: a deep-seated desire to create and build with one’s own hands.

At woodNarrative, I specialize in bespoke woodwork, crafting unique pieces tailored to individual needs and preferences. My craft has expanded beyond furniture to include home decorations, millwork, storage solutions, and CNC work. Each wooden item I create is a testament to the fact that wood, once living, is as unique as a fingerprint. Every piece carries a history and has its own story to tell.

This belief in the narrative embedded in each piece of wood fuels my passion. woodNarrative represents a fusion of my love for history and my dedication to hands-on craftsmanship. By blending these elements, I aim to create distinctive and meaningful works of art that honor the natural beauty and story of each piece.
