I really enjoyed making this piece. Hickory has a scent in the sawdust that to me, smells like a wine‑soaked cork. It makes for such a pleasant day in the shop.

The edge profile on the top is one of my favourites. The shape might have an official name, but I call it an undercut profile: the top is thick and substantial, but the heavy bevel underneath makes it present a thin, elegant edge. It gives the whole piece a lighter, sleeker look.

As is the case with a lot of my work, this piece is very colour inclusive.

The top features a mirrored stripe down the middle, highlighting the light variation in the wood.

This project really made me want to do more in hickory and I plan on spending more time with the material in the future.

Caleb Wu is the builder behind Herit‑Edge, a small batch heirloom furniture brand based in Aurora, Ontario.

Caleb has had a passion for building his whole life, and woodworking has remained a steady, persistent love that continues to evolve as he expands into upholstery.

During the day, Caleb builds staircases, handles wood repairs, as well as maintenance and restoration on large woodworking machinery - tools that are often older than he is. His background in this work has shaped his approach to furniture: he prioritizes maintainability, solid joinery, and straightforward construction that can be fixed, refreshed, or refinished decades down the road. If something is built well, he believes it should be able to live a long life and stay in the family. After hours, building furniture is Caleb’s creative outlet - a place where he blends wood and textiles, experiments with new techniques, and builds pieces meant to be used and appreciated every day.

He is fascinated by the idea that with enough patience, you can create something that lasts a lifetime - something more personal, more meaningful, and higher quality than anything mass‑produced.

That belief is the foundation for every piece he makes.
