Crafted Through Fire. Shaped By Heart.
What began in a small garage in Fort McMurray has grown into something far more meaningful. In 2014, with her first child on the way, Kallie turned a hobby into a business—one contractor's table saw and a lot of ambition. Then “The Beast” struck: the devastating Horse River Fire of 2016 destroyed her home and workshop, forcing the family to rebuild from scratch—this time in Stony Plain, with her second child arriving soon after.
Rebuilding with Community and Courage
Rising from loss, Kalex Custom Carvings re-opened in late 2016, with a renewed vision and unwavering determination. Thanks to ongoing support from Fort McMurray and new roots in Stony Plain, business quickly grew. From multiple trade shows to local markets, and through many heart-to-heart moments, strength was found in community.
Crafted with Intention — Piece by Piece
Every board, sign, and custom carving reflects my hands, my hopes, and the memories I want to help create. Portraits of families laughing over a Rummoli board, couples celebrating milestones with personalized cribbage sets—these are the moments that drive me. Through personal struggles and mental health challenges, our mission has remained steadfast: to create heirloom-quality pieces that bring connection and joy to your everyday.
Your Vision, Carved in Maple
Every creation is personal to me—from the first sketch through hand-stained finish. I take pride in working one-on-one with each customer to bring their ideas to life. It’s more than craft—it’s connection, care, and creativity that withstands time.
