Our story

"Our mission is to create products that reflect our journey"

At Ottawa Lumber Bin, we are dedicated to crafting beautiful, high-quality wooden products while sharing a message of resilience and creativity. Woodworking became our refuge during times of significant mental health challenges, allowing us to transform hardship into something meaningful. Through this craft, we found healing and purpose—and we pour that same dedication into everything we create.

We believe that life isn't about avoiding hardship but about how we respond to it—adapting, learning, and creating something even better. Every Ottawa Lumber Bin product is a testament to that belief: a symbol of transformation, craftsmanship, and strength. We want fellow woodworkers, creators and people alike to know that their craft can be a powerful source of renewal and inspiration.
