Omer LeBlanc was born and raised in Selwood, a small village in Northern New Brunswick. At the age of 12 he became intrigued with the school janitor's hobby of whittling wood. This began a lifelong love and passion of wood-working. Omer is self taught and has done an amazing job refining his skill over the years. If you stop by his shop, you can take a look at some of his incredible creations.
As an adult he began working as a contractor, doing residential, commercial and industrial work until he retired. Now he continues to create custom furniture and other pieces using various types of exotic hardwood and thermal wood.
Thermally treating wood is the process of heating wood at 185 - 225 degrees in an oxygen-free environment. This process changes the colour and dimensional stability of the wood. This process gives the wood a rich brown colour while increasing the durability and longevity.
Here are some of the items Omer makes:
-
Picture frames with a glare-free glass substitute
-
Humidors
-
Jewelry Boxes
-
Inlaid Cribbage Boards
-
Chess Boards with weighted pieces
-
Cutting Boards
-
Charcuterie Boards
-
Custom Hardwood Furniture
