Our Story: A Passion for Woodwork

Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day become your profession.”

“As far back as I can remember, I always found it exciting to create things with my hands, and wood quickly became my go-to medium for this self-expression.

What began as a hobby quickly became a passion and a goal: selling high-quality, custom-made, luxurious items to clients. Developing and improving our skills became of the utmost importance to ensure we delivered handcrafted furniture of the highest quality.

And so, Strider-Woods was born…
Since then, we have grown and expanded our capabilities to include space design and complete turnkey projects. A unique Nigerian company creating experiences per item, per space, with the expert finishing of skilled craftsmen for both our clients and us to enjoy.

"We hope that one day you will have the Strider-Woods experience.”

Conscious Craft

Indigenous Hardwoods

Our commitment to sustainability begins with sourcing premium indigenous hardwoods, responsibly harvested. Each timber is carefully selected and cured, ensuring structural integrity and a unique aesthetic that celebrates Nigeria's rich natural heritage.
