Steve Shelley lives with his family in Campbell River British Columbia. Steve
has been a fishing guide and fishing lodge owner for many years, guiding
fishermen on rivers, lakes and on the waters of the Pacific Ocean from the Queen
Charlotte Islands to southern Vancouver Island.
When it comes to Nature's Edge Wood Design Steve's Philosophy is simple.
"With strong ties to the outdoors and nature I have always had a keen interest
in working with reclaimed and salvaged wood. Taking a piece of wood that some
else has discarded, or that will lay on the beach and rot or be burned in a burn
pile, and turning it into something useful is very rewarding for me."
"I get a lot of inspiration for my work, as well as the majority of my
material, while walking our dog on the beaches of Discovery Passage near our
home in Campbell River. Finding and working with the wood I salvage from the
beaches is my favorite pass time. Each piece has completed a journey from its
origins, which can be from far up a mainland river or a South or Central
American jungle, to its time spent drifting around in the saltwater of the
Pacific Ocean, to its final destination here on the shores of Discovery
Passage."
