Elevated Coastal Interiors: Commissioning One-of-a-Kind Surfboard and Sculptural Art for Your Home or Business

Hi, I’m Josh Marks — founder of Hardwood Tides and creator of bespoke surfboard and sculptural art that merges ocean energy, timber grain, and high-end interior design.

Whether you're curating a luxurious home by the sea, styling a coastal-inspired commercial space, or seeking a timeless art piece that becomes a focal point, I specialise in crafting one-of-a-kind hardwood artworks that speak to your environment—and your story.

Why Invest in Custom Surfboard or Coastal Sculptural Art?

In a world of mass production and digital sameness, a handcrafted, one-of-one artwork stands apart. At Hardwood Tides, every piece I create is custom-made from sustainably sourced Australian timber and poured with premium resin to echo the coastline—each swell, sandbank, and current translated through colour, texture, and form.

This isn’t wall décor—it’s a statement of place, built for discerning clients who want art with presence, meaning, and craft.

Signature Styles – Tailored to Your Space

Each Hardwood Tides piece is designed to harmonise with its surroundings. That means no two are ever alike. Whether it’s a sculptural twin-fin surfboard for a luxury holiday home, or a coastal sculptural art wall piece for a boutique hotel lobby, your artwork is a conversation starter, crafted with precision and intention.

Popular formats include:

• 🌊 Wall-mounted surfboard art — using species like Camphor Laurel, Blackbutt Burl, or Tasmanian Blackwood

• 🌿 Freestanding sculptural forms — bringing organic energy into entryways, stairwells or gallery spaces

• 🐚 Nature-inspired resin sculptures — including sea turtles, stingrays, and abstract surf elements

• 🍹 Custom bar or restaurant statement pieces — like the Flow Bar surfboard art bench seat

The Process – From Vision to Installation

Creating a custom artwork for your home or commercial project is a collaborative and personalised journey:

1. Initial Conversation We begin with a design call or email exchange where we discuss your vision, space, colour palette, dimensions, timber species, and overall vibe.

2. Material Sourcing & Mockups I source the timber and begin rough layout mockups. You’ll receive concept visuals before any resin is poured, ensuring full creative alignment.

3. Creation Phase From shaping to resin work to finishing, each piece takes approximately 6 weeks, depending on size and complexity.

4. Professional Shipping Worldwide Whether you’re in Byron Bay, New York, Malibu, Dubai or Noosa, I ship globally with insured, custom packaging built to protect your investment.

Designed for Legacy, Not Just Décor

My collectors and clients are people who don’t just want art on their wall—they want something with soul, a piece of the coast captured in timber and resin, crafted with integrity.

From high-end residences to commercial hospitality projects, Hardwood Tides pieces are functional heirlooms that reflect craftsmanship, culture, and connection to place.
