Driftwood collected on the shoreline of Bennett Lake, in Carcross.

Bennett Root is crafted from driftwood collected along the shores of Bennett Lake, where the water stretches between towering mountain ridges, and the horizon feels endless. The wind is strong here, carrying the scent of the snowy peaks. This is a place where time shapes everything—water, ice, wind, and sand all leave their mark.

The wood has already weathered years of these elements—dried by the sun, cracked by the cold, and worn smooth by the movement of sand. Its natural form remains largely untouched. The stumps, grain, and uneven edges all tell part of the story.

Carefully finished, the surface enhances what’s already there—texture, warmth, and a sense of history. Bennett Root isn’t just made in the Yukon; it carries with it the stories of time itself.
