Built for Cabin Living

Cabin projects need more than standard renovation work. They should feel warm, durable, and true to the setting, with details that make the space more inviting to live in.

Whether you’re renovating an older retreat or planning the interior of a new cabin, we focus on clean execution, strong wood character, and work worth traveling for.

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.
