Custom Myrtle Wood Tables and Furniture
A Hardwood Found Nowhere Else
Myrtle is a rare and truly regional hardwood, growing only along the Southern Oregon and Northern California coasts. Unlike widely distributed species, myrtle thrives in a very narrow range of foggy, coastal valleys where the climate shapes its extraordinary figure and color. Each slab is a reflection of its rugged, coastal home — wild, beautiful, and one-of-a-kind.
A Kaleidoscope of Color and Light
What sets myrtle apart is its incredible spectrum of color. Creamy base tones are often streaked with shades of gold, brown, olive, and gray, while bold contrasts can appear in the same slab. The wood’s natural chatoyancy — a shimmering, almost three-dimensional effect as light moves across the surface — makes its grain look alive, changing from every angle. No two boards are alike, and every table built from myrtle is unmistakably unique.
Strength and Lasting Value
Myrtle is not only beautiful, it’s also a dense and durable hardwood, well-suited for everyday use. Whether crafted into a dining table, desk, or statement piece, myrtle furniture brings a balance of elegance and resilience. Its strength ensures it can withstand daily life, while its shifting tones and figure keep it a focal point in any room.
Salvaged and Sustainable
We work with local mills and salvage partners on the Southern Oregon coast to responsibly source myrtle from fallen and salvaged trees. Each slab carries the natural history of this rare species, transformed into heirloom furniture that preserves both its beauty and its story.
