\nWhat began as a hobby has since blossomed into a thriving family business. The Cutter’s Edge, which recently opened a new, 13,000 square foot showroom 30 Howland Drive\u2014its fourth location with other stores in Burk’s Falls, North Bay and Verner\u2014has been building beautifully hand-crafted, solid wood furniture for more than three decades and has evolved into a full-service home furniture and decor business.<\/p>\n
“We are a family-run business,” explains Huntsville general manager Robin Wood. “My parents (Terry and Hubert Lawrence) established the business in 1987 and all five members of our family are all still very active at a management level. And we\u2019ve hired a wonderful team to work alongside us that\u2019s also become like family for us.”<\/p>\n
The company’s roots are in manufacturing. “It’s definitely in our blood,” says Wood. “My dad was kind of a hobbyist and just loved working with his hands, and this opportunity came available to create this business. It\u2019s been expanding every year since.”<\/span><\/p>\nThe beautiful wood pieces created by The Cutter’s Edge and other local manufacturers are at the heart of the gorgeous showroom. And then layer upon layer of home decor has been added to each so that a visit to The Cutter’s Edge feels more like stepping into a perfectly appointed home or cottage than it does a retail space. That’s no accident.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve set up the store in a way that people can get a feel for the whole room, unlike a department store where you buy everything and have to pull it all together yourself. We try to give people the vision,” says Wood. “So they can come in and not have to pay a designer or be a designer. It\u2019s already put together for them.”<\/p>\n

And if someone sees a table they love, for example, but want it in a different colour or size or with different hardware, The Cutter’s Edge can customize those pieces, or they can build a unique design based on a client’s ideas. And then they can suggest a complementary area rug, chairs, dishes and other decor to pull together the look for them without the need for a high-end designer. <\/span><\/p>\n“W<\/span>e are trying to show our customers that designer feel without them having to create it themselves,” says Wood. “We\u2019ve tried to always evolve and keep a step ahead of trends so that every time our customers come in they are going to see something new.”<\/span><\/p>\nThey work hard to provide locally made and handcrafted items. The showroom’s couches and leather chairs, for example, are all made in Ontario, notes Wood.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
