A combination of Mappa Burl and black epoxy give this executive office set a bold yet clean and sophisticated look. The intent for this set was a simplistic and timeless design while focusing on the inherent beauty of burl wood. A waterfall on each end of the desk sets off the bold look when you enter the room. The inner heartwood of Mappa Burl (aka European Poplar) is peppered by an interesting darker, bark-like pattern in tight clusters and is truly one of the most beautiful woods we work with when we are able to acquire it in larger slabs. A custom console cabinet features two 44" wide soft close file drawers on the left, and two 44" wide doors with shelves on the left. The base legs for the main desk are made of powder coated 1/4" thick laser cut plate steel and give the look a minimal clean line at the floor.

A mix of modern and timeless style sets this executive office apart from any other. Simple in design yet complex in build, these pieces are truly one of a kind.
Starting with black walnut and black epoxy, we created a flowing design between the desk, floating (wall mounted) bookcase, and wet bar. The client was looking for a show stopping set of furniture and cabinetry that were impressive in design and function and centered around a large collection of career related text books.

For this project, we were the lead on overall design of all three projects but also the in-house makers for the desk, bookcase and wet bar door and drawer facings. To build and install the cabinetry for the bookcase and wet bar, we partnered with Nova Woodworks.

As with many of our pieces we pay careful attention to hide any hardware to give a clean and refined finished product.

Black walnut and black epoxy were used for this unassuming sleek studio desk. The clean lines and the slight angles do a great job of hiding three hidden drawers that you might not know were there.

This is a truly amazing piece of functional art with a great story. Pictures do not do justice to this pine root coffee table. Fully encased in 2” of solid epoxy resin, this piece must be seen to be fully appreciated! The intricate details of the woven roots inside the resin are highlighted in a prism-like cube that creates a surreal underwater-like effect.

The Story |
In 2015, this pine tree was uprooted by a wind storm on the St John the Baptist property in Amherstburg ON (Canada) and FLO Hardwoods was contacted to salvage it. At the time, FLO was in very early stages of business and regrettably did not have the means or equipment to facilitate the salvage. In 2017 Steve Pomerleau spotted a root along a farm fence row/burn pile on Alma street in Amherstburg. After connecting with property owner Greg Mailloux of Mailloux’s Farm Fresh, it was discovered that it was the same uprooted pine tree from the church property. From there FLO was able to collect the root and store it while waiting for the right client to facilitate its second journey to a new life. Now the resurrection of this beautiful piece is complete and it will live on to be appreciated for generations to come.

The edges of the 2 slabs were carefully hand carved to give it a unique texture and create visual interest for the seated guests.

This solid wood coffee table is large, heavy, bold and beautiful. After hand carving the profile of this table, the contours were given custom treatment to emulate layers of land erosion. The wood was then sprayed with a white lacquer, the edges formed and a tinted blue epoxy was poured in to give the effect of the depths of a waterway or ocean. LED light on an RF remote was added to give this piece that extra special touch.

This is a simple and elegant dinette table that is truly one-of-a-kind and changes throughout the day as the sun sets on this piece of functional art. On one end of the table, the Detroit river flows from the Lasalle and River Canard area and flows to the main feature which is the mouth of Lake Erie (Ontario, Canada). Along the way you will see Fighting Island, Grosse Ile, Crystal Island and Stony Island as well as the famous Boblo Island. From there, as the river opens up into Lake Erie you can see Big Creek as it wraps around Knapps Island. This piece is designed to look like a reflection of the stars in the night sky.

We also include a special feature on this table by inlaying a Swarovski crystal diamond to mark the location of the client’s home on the riverfront. As our client says… “It is amazing what happens when the natural light hits this table...it is amazing how the blue jumps out in the light. This piece changes by the hour from black to gray to almost non existent blue to vibrant sparkling blue water. I sure hope when the sun is down that our overhead light fixture does the same… otherwise it is going to cost me a new light fixture.”

There is a great story behind this double trunk Western Juniper burl root that was found and collected in 2007 on a beach in the Grand Bend Ontario area. This was the very first piece ever collected by founder Steve Pomerleau in the hopes of starting a small business making furniture out of salvaged trees. Fast forward to November of 2013 when Steve was finally executing start-up plans, he came to meet Ron Wismer of Wismer Clydesdales, a local and world renowned breeder of Clydesdale horses. Ron generously donated several pieces out of a firewood pile that would be some of the very first pieces produced by the newly formed FLO Hardwoods. It is only fitting that this one-of-a-kind piece now resides in the home of the Wismer family.

Made from a 3 part series, these coffee tables are the last pieces to be produced from one amazing Manitoba Maple tree.
This crotch section of the tree was cut in half and came from the bottom of the 3 stacked series. These pieces are supporting 48" x 60" sheets of 12mm low-E tempered glass. Custom hardware was used to inset the mounting bolts in chamfered holes to give the glass top a smooth and unobstructed surface.

These custom cargo doors were made from lumber salvaged in 2014.  Tom's great grandfather milled the lumber from the Mailloux property and hand built the home in the mid 1800's.  Now in 2017 this lumber has taken on a new stylish second life to be enjoyed for many years to come.

This beautiful dining table was designed with modern simplicity yet minimal complexity. A solid 2" thick and 42" wide oak top with a custom grey-black ombre finish sets off the table surface and creates a stunning contrast with the aluminum base.

This base was custom fabricated to be lightweight as well as sturdy and functional. The leaf is stored inside the base which brings the surface from 8' to 10' in length.

This dining table speaks for its own beauty in solid Canadian black walnut at 2.25" thick, 64" wide and 84" long. The tree from which the boards were milled was salvaged from a tornado that came through Leamington Ontario in 2010.

The center 'feature board' shows the beautiful contrast of the heartwood and sapwood to create the focal point of the design. Flat black textured steel legs were designed to draw the attention back to the beautiful grain of the table's surface that is finished with hand-rubbed oil.

We call this the table with many faces.  It also displays a nicely spalted top surface.  Because of the way the Manitoba Maple (aka Box Elder) species grows, they are known for cracking at the trunk due to their nature of the outward expanding canopy .  As seen in this table, one side shows the unique profile of the tree's outer perimeter and the other side shows the rough and amazing effects of the split trunk. It is this feature that makes this a great accent and conversation piece.  This material was salvaged from a fire wood pile in 2013.

Grain symmetry was the driving design direction for this commissioned dining table. The three wide matched solid white oak boards were carefully chosen because of their beautifully flowing, linear grain pattern.

Second to the design, durability and flexibility in maintaining the table was very important to the client. All knots and holes in the surface were carefully filled with black epoxy.

The base is steel, tough and textured for durability. The top is 46" x 67" and the finish is an eight layer custom pigment and hand rubbed oil that is very durable and easy to maintain.

This is the first of a set of four small but stunning slabs from a of 100+ year old pear tree that Tom Mailloux used to swing from as a child. Salvaged and air dried for 12 year, this pear wood is very unique and rare in this size. The rot area of the slab was filled with clear EcoPoxy resin to preserve it’s beauty while increasing the usability of the surface.
