About Pacifica woodwork and design

Jake Humphrey, began woodworking at the age of 12 in Powell River, BC. At the time, he used his parents garage as a makeshift workshop where he made walking sticks, candle holders and small pieces of furniture. On the weekends and at Christmas, he spent my time at local craft fairs selling my handmade goods. ​ ​By the time Jake was 15, he had moved to Shawnigan Lake and started Pacific Woodworks. This allowed him to venture into fine woodwork and wood turning, selling goods at local craft fairs and art galleries. Jakes passion for wood turning landed him a job at a local fine woodworking shop when he was 17, giving him valuable experience working as a furniture maker, and a constant source of wood to turn on the weekends. ​ In the years since, Jake ventured away from woodworking. Attending college to get a diploma in Environmental Sciences, University for a degree in Geography, and eventually Grad School. However, he realized that woodworking was something that he enjoyed too much to push to the wayside. In early 2017, Jake purchased a new lathe and have been turning at every chance he gets! In 2018, Jake has expanded his business and is working on introducing new products and designs under the brand new name Pacifica Woodwork & Design. ​ Jake Humphrey Founder & Head CraftsmanRead their story
