About
Steve's Woodworking & Custom Carpentry
When Steve Gaccioli was seven years old, he received a small wooden box for Christmas, overflowing with a set of junior-sized tools: a saw, hammer, awl, fold-able ruler, and a small block plane—which he immediately put to use on all the wood trim in his bedroom (much to his father’s displeasure). That moment sparked his lifelong exploration of woodcraft.
Forty-seven years later, with a wealth of experience and knowledge, Steve challenged the Inter-provincial Red Seal exam for carpentry and passed.
Today, his passion is fueled by the beauty of wood in all its forms and the countless ways it enhances our lives. What truly inspires him is the look in a client’s eyes when they see the final product—this is what he lives for and what drives him to achieve more.
From constructing complete houses to crafting intricate jewelry boxes, Steve’s desire to create defines his joy. His craftsmanship spans the full spectrum of woodworking, each project a testament to his dedication and artistry.
