“Jonathan Otter creates his furniture with meticulous care and astonishing skill…The 22 pieces we own of modern, Nova Scotian work- our only modern pieces, in fact- are all creations of Jonathan Otter’s and they harmonize beautifully with the antiques, reflecting the same warmth of texture and beauty of form so valued in the antiques.” – Nominator for the 2012 Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Masterworks Award.

Jonathan Otter – Nova Scotia Hand-Crafted Wood Furniture Maker

Welcome to my website. I design and handcraft solid wood furniture from my studio here in Earltown, Nova Scotia. It is my privilege and joy to make functional, beautiful objects that enhance the lives of those who use them. I sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the images on this site. Perhaps, with time, something I craft will find a cherished place in your home.
