Hardmade Woodworks in Coconut Grove specializes in reclaiming urban trees that have been struck by lightning or have fallen in hurricanes. In the capable hands of RE parent Ken Russell, these trees find a second life as beautiful works of art and furniture.

"It is rare to preserve the roots of a local Mahogany, as it is nearly impossible to extract them from the Coral and Oolite bedrock. These twisting roots have been kept in their natural rough state while the revealing slice has been polished to a high gloss with 8 coats of hand-rubbed Danish Oil. The Pith has been bound together by Teak butterflies inlaid between roots."
