About CraftedWood – Where Artistry Meets Function
Founded in Alexandria by master carpenter and designer Rana El‑Sherif, CraftedWood emerged from a vision to revive Egypt’s rich woodworking legacy and bring true artisan quality to contemporary interiors. Our workshop brings together seasoned artisans, each with decades of experience in hand‑tool techniques—mortise and tenon joinery, dovetail drawers, hand‑planed surfaces—and finishes derived from natural oils and waxes.
Every project begins with an in‑depth design consultation: we explore your aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and space constraints. Detailed sketches and scale models guide material selection, ensuring the final piece harmonizes with your décor and lifestyle. In our light‑filled studio, each board is inspected for character—knots, figures, and color variations—and then carefully milled, shaped, and assembled. Quality‑control checkpoints at every stage guarantee structural integrity, ergonomic comfort, and flawless finish quality.
Beyond furniture, CraftedWood fosters a community of design enthusiasts through open‑house studio tours, woodworking masterclasses, and collaborative art installations. By blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary sensibilities, we create pieces that become both functional furnishings and works of art—passed down through generations as treasured family heirlooms.
