CREATOR OF THE MONTH
Sleepy Oak
Welcome to Sleepy Oak Knapping, where the timeless art of bowry and stone knapping is not just preserved; it's brought to life. Nestled in the heart of Armstrong, British Columbia, our small-scale workshop is a haven for craftsmanship that connects us to our past while providing tools and art for the present.


My Story
Founded by Steve McNeil, Sleepy Oak Knapping is more than a business-it's a passion project born from a desire to create and a dedication to skill. Though relatively new to the craft, Steve's natural talent and swift progression are evident in every piece that leaves the workshop. His work is not just about creating a product; it's about imbuing each item with a story, a purpose, and a soul.
Our mission is simple: to handcraft wooden bows and stone tools that are as functional as they are beautiful. We believe in the power of handmade goods, the value of traditional methods, and the importance of quality that lasts. At Sleepy Oak Knapping, every strike of the chisel and every bend of the bowstring is a testament to the artistry that defines our brand.
As you turn the pages of this business plan, you will discover not only the strategies and projections that will guide Sleepy Oak Knapping to success but also the spirit and vision that make our products truly unique. Join us on this journey as we carve out our place in the
world, one handcrafted piece at a time.
