“There will always be music amongst the trees in the garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear them. ”
Custom Woodwork and Design with Ryan Ducholke
I worked in the oil and gas industry for over two decades. As a pipe fitter, I was always fascinated by the sound of steel. How it resonated through the air and can be felt deep within our bodies. As you follow along on my journey, you will see how I incorporate that resonance into my creations.
My fondest childhood memories are running through the forest with the sound of the wind through the trees. It is how i believe they speak to us, sharing their stories of centuries of wisdom. As they fall and give themselves back to the universe, I am given an opportunity to preserve some of that wisdom and beauty beneath the bark…and so my journey as a creator begins.
Every day I am grateful for the opportunities before me. To chase a dream and do what I love is such a precious gift from the universe we live in. With gratitude, I am able to give back. With passion, I am able to create. With love, I am able to spread kindness... and together we are able to share an experience like no other.
Building & Designing at RyeDuke Customs
RyeDuke Customs is a custom furniture company in Edmonton that was officially established in 2016.
For many years prior to that, building and creating for family, friends, and fun was more of a hobby. I found myself dreaming up designs while I was working in my day job as a pipe fitter in the oil and gas sector. I soon realized I could bring my skills as a professional into my creations as a designer and builder, and this inspired me to establish RyeDuke Customs as a full time business.
I take great pride in ensuring every piece I create for my clients is built from a foundation of integrity.
Built to last is a motto I stand by and back with a full craftsmanship guarantee.
