Picturesque southern Muskoka is home to artist John de Lang and his Wood's End Studio. Set at the edge of a forest, its windows flood the studio with light and offer a panoramic view of the flora and fauna of the surrounding area.

It is not unusual to spy a deer strolling across the lawn, while squirrels and chipmunks chase each other around the trees. The numerous birdfeeders set around the studio welcome many different species, while the flowers invite the countless ruby-throated hummingbirds.

The scenic woodland view from the large picture window in the Showroom is a perfect backdrop for John’s bird carvings, while the Gift Shop and Courtyard Gallery showcase one-of-a-kind gifts handcrafted by Canadian artisans.

John’s love of nature expresses itself in the gardens that surround the studio. A large pebbled pond is filled with water plants, and bordered by flowers peeping out among the rockery and behind the waterfall. A circular garden contains sectional flower patches set off by a stone fountain; and, on a whimsical note, the “Winds of Time” setting suggests nature’s beautiful reclamation of an abandoned wind-damaged cabin. A decidedly unique feature at Wood’s End is the magical fairytale realm among the trails of "The Enchanted Forest".
