My wood is Spalted! What?

Welcome to Deep Cove Atelier, where we combine wood, metal, and colorful epoxies to create bespoke pieces of functional art for your home and dining experience. Our passion is creating unique pieces that will bring beauty and functionality to your space, and we do it by combining natural materials with modern techniques.

One of the more exciting features we incorporate, provided by mother nature herself, is called wood spalting. Spalting is a natural process that occurs when fungi grow inside dead or decaying wood, causing unique patterns and colors to form. These patterns can range from black lines and spots to intricate, web-like patterns that add depth and texture to the wood.

Spalting is a fascinating process that requires specific conditions to occur. It needs moisture, oxygen, and a suitable temperature to thrive. The fungi grow in the wood, breaking down the fibers and creating the unique patterns we see. Spalted wood can be incredibly beautiful, and we use it to create unique pieces that are both functional and visually stunning.

At Deep Cove Atelier, we source our spalted wood from responsible and local sustainable sources, ensuring that we can continue to create beautiful pieces without harming the environment. Once harvested and crafted into a finished product, the spalting process is halted and all that remains are the delicate patterns.

If you're looking for a unique piece of functional art that combines natural materials with modern techniques, Deep Cove Atelier is the perfect choice. From spalted woods to colorful epoxies, we create bespoke pieces that will bring beauty and functionality to your space for years to come.
