Morgan Shaver is convinced that he was born with a calling.<\/p>\n

“Even as a toddler I would take things apart just to see how they worked, and then would put them back together,” he says.<\/p>\n

Woodworking has been his passion since he was a child, creating things in his childhood garage. As he grew older, he began helping his dad build kitchens and furniture and after he completed school he moved into building as his full-time career.<\/p>\n

For more than 20 years, Shaver ran a building and woodworking business with his father. He started his own company, Morgan Shaver Design, when he and his family moved to Muskoka in 2018.<\/p>\n

His primary work is building custom homes and renovations\u2014he says he puts the same amount of care into each house he builds as if it were a forever home for his own family\u2014and between those large projects he turns to his passion for woodworking.<\/p>\n

“I enjoy getting into my workshop and making whatever I feel called to build that day,” says Shaver. “Most of my woodworking has been charcuterie boards, but I have also created geometric animals with the scrap pieces, and mountain art. The thing that people can expect from my work is great craftsmanship and something that I truly enjoyed building. It’s a craft, or an art, so when I make something it’s because I’m loving the process and I know that someone will love it enough to welcome it into their home, too.”<\/p>\n

Shaver sells many of his woodworking projects on his Instagram page, @morgan.shaver.design<\/a><\/span>, which has gathered more than 18,000 followers. He says that most of the time items are sold within a day of posting them.<\/p>\n

Most popular are his charcuterie boards. “I’ve been making quite a few of those over the last year,” he says. “Some have a hand-carved maple leaf, or shamrocks, or just epoxy-filled voids in the wood, but each one is very unique.”<\/p>\n

Shaver loves giving back to people who love his work and often does giveaway contests for his online followers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
