For over thirty-five years, Gary Matthews has been turning wooden salad bowls on a lathe he built to produce the style of bowls he likes, as well as carving burls and cutting boards in his workshop near the village of Tamworth, Ontario. Gary and Curtis Matthews create bowls that are both functional and decorative. They create bowls, burls, platters and cutting boards in a variety of shapes and designs. Their work is currently sold in galleries and shops across Canada.

Since Curtis was a young boy, he has been surrounded by the art of wood working. At a young age, he would watch his father Gary in the workshop to create beautiful art pieces and gained an appreciation and respect for wood turning. Matthews Studio is now a father-son run business creating one-of-a-kind wooden bowls using locally sourced raw materials. Each individual bowl is signed by the makers themselves. Curtis has always shared the passion of wood working with his father and enjoys the abstract finished product that can be produced through nature's unforeseen beauty.
