Welcome to Hugo’s Wood and Art, where the beauty of Australian timbers meets the artistry of craftsmanship. From 2021, our passion project began with a vision to transform timeworn Australian timbers into stunning handcrafted creations. Specialising in rescued handcrafted timbers and epoxy resin boards, serving platters, charcuterie boards, coasters, jewellery boxes, and unique art pieces, we blend functionality with artistic expression.
Sustainability,
is at the heart of what we do.
We take pride in rescuing, recycling, and repurposing Australian timbers, giving them a new lease on life
Here, traditional craftsmanship intertwines seamlessly with modern design. From the warmth of timber and the vibrant hues of epoxy resin, we craft pieces that tell a story – a story of Australian landscapes, sustainable practices, and timeless beauty. Each piece carries with it the character and history of its past, adding a unique narrative to the art we create.
Rucio & Hugo
Rucio is the heart and hands behind every creation, bringing a lifetime of woodworking expertise and a deep love for craftsmanship to everything he makes. With a background as a carpenter, builder and teacher, Rucio has spent years passing on his knowledge and passion to others, now inspiring creativity and craftsmanship in his students.
What started as a fun hobby has turned into a full-blown passion for transforming Australian timbers into unique, one-of-a-kind creations. Rucio takes pride in every step of the process, from rescuing and repurposing timber to carefully crafting each piece by hand. His love for the natural beauty of timber shines through in every piece, with the perfect blend of epoxy resins and finishes that preserve the character of the wood.
