Meet Eli, Your Craftsman

Elias Kutzler 
Owner & Operator

Trained in the traditions of German carpentry, I have built my craft on a foundation of precision, durability, and respect for the material itself. My journey has taken me far beyond the workshop floor — from shaping timber in Germany to refining skills in Australia, New Zealand, and across North America.

Wherever I’ve worked, one constant has remained: a passion for wood in its natural beauty. Every grain, every knot, every shade tells a story, and my goal is to bring that story to life in the spaces I create.

Now based in the Okanagan, I’m proud to call this community home and to share my craftsmanship with homeowners across the region

At Red Oak Finishing + Design — blending timeless craftsmanship with modern design to create work that feels both enduring and personal.
