Ashes to Beauty Wood was born from a vision: to elevate hardwoods, reclaimed and live-edge wood into refined, enduring works of art. Our journey is rooted in transformation — seeing beauty in what others might discard, and shaping it into something timeless and meaningful.

From fallen trees, hardwoods, salvaged lumber, and pieces with character born from age, weather, and life, with every knot, every grain, and every curve, there is a narrative waiting to be told. At the heart of our work is a respect for nature’s imperfections and a desire to preserve them, not erase them.

Set in our Vero Beach shop, we blend classical woodworking techniques with clean, modern architectural design. We use sustainable practices, honoring each piece’s origin, and finish it with care — sealing with Rubio Monocoat Oil for furniture and Odie’s Oil for bowls and boards. These finishes are plant-based, low-VOC, family-safe — because luxury shouldn’t cost the earth.

Every creation is a collaboration. We don’t outsource or mass produce. Instead, we take the time to listen — to your space, vision, and lifestyle. Whether it’s a dining table for a modern coastal home, a solid hardwood desk for your business, or a live-edge conference table that tells a story, we design and build intentionally. This isn’t a production line. It’s a one-man shop where each piece gets my full attention, my hands, and my standards — not outsourced labor.
