Updated: Aug 14



We are all increasingly aware of our environmental impact, and finding ways to incorporate sustainability into our daily lives is more important than ever. At Atlantic Fine Woods, we blend eco-friendly practices with exceptional craftsmanship to create decor that’s as sustainable as it is beautiful. Our commitment to transforming urban-harvested trees into handcrafted decor items ensures that each piece not only enhances your space but also tells a story of renewal and respect for the environment.

The Beauty of Urban-Harvested Wood

Urban-harvested wood is sourced from trees that are removed from urban areas due to development, disease, or storm damage. Instead of letting these trees end up in landfills, we give them a second life. Each piece of wood we work with has its own unique history and character, making our decor items truly one-of-a-kind.


Handcrafted with Care


At Atlantic Fine Woods, our artisans pour their heart and soul into every piece they create. From the initial selection of the wood to the final finishing touches, each step is meticulously executed to highlight the natural beauty of the material. Our handcrafted decor items include:

  • Floating Shelves: Perfect for adding a natural touch to any room, our live edge shelves showcase the unique grain patterns and contours of the wood.

  • Custom Wall Art: Made from reclaimed wood, our custom wall art pieces bring warmth and texture to your home.

  • Serving Platters and Cutting Boards: Functional and beautiful, our serving platters and cutting boards are perfect for entertaining or everyday use.


Eco-Friendly Finishes


To further our commitment to sustainability, we use eco-friendly finishes on all our products. These finishes not only protect the wood but also enhance its natural beauty without harmful chemicals. Our finishes include:

  • Osmo Poly-X: A natural oil and wax-based finish that provides a durable, water-resistant surface while highlighting the wood's grain.

  • Low VOC epoxy:  We use EcoPoxy resin, it is 30% plant based, food safe, and is safer for you and the environment.


The Environmental Impact


Choosing handcrafted decor from Atlantic Fine Woods means supporting sustainable practices and reducing your environmental footprint. Through our efforts, we have sequestered 1,410,000 pounds of carbon from polluting Atlanta's atmosphere. Each purchase you make contributes to this positive impact, promoting a healthier planet for future generations.

Incorporating eco-friendly decor into your home is a simple yet impactful way to promote sustainability. Here are some tips:
