About us

Turning Timber is a small family business in Whitby, Ontario, Canada that has grown out of our passion for our woodworking and card making hobbies. After several years of making gifts and cards for family and friends, we were encouraged to set up a small business to sell our gifts.

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Ray Berry. I create the one of a kind gifts from wood and acrylic. My wife, Heather Parsons focuses on our paper creations including greeting cards and boxes.

After a successful career in the corporate IT world, I decided to start a new chapter and turn my lifelong passion and hobby in woodworking and woodturning into my next career. 

All of our turned products, greeting cards and boxes are handmade in our home based workshop. Gifts are made from various wood species including maple, walnut, zebra wood, mango and upcycled wine barrels.  Many of our products are made from multi-coloured acrylics.  Products made with kits use various metal plating’s including chrome, gun metal, gold and stainless steel.

We offer handmade cards and gift boxes to go with the turned products for customers to buy the full package for gift giving.  The goal is to create a one stop shop to simplify the gift giving process for customers.
