Carpenter, cabinetmaker, woodcarver, joiner, The French use the term menuiser to describe all these crafts. I feel that this term fits what I do on several levels. Though I do not consider myself French in the true sense of the word. I am Franco Ontarian. But that is another story. I use wood as my primary material to build the furniture that I design.This blog is about my process.

RECENT WORKS BY DANIEL DUROCHER Opening Saturday, April 10th 7:00 - 9:00PM
Over the last several years I have been looking at ways to repurpose objects and materials destined for the landfill. I assemble artifacts that I have collected into finished pieces by playing with the texture and pattern found within the material. Retaining its existing finish helps tell the story of the object and creates a history for the finished piece. I like the way the material helps define what can be made from it. The process of listening to the artifacts while creating the final piece is satisfying because a previous life is revealed in this recycled work.
