Argentinean rustic woodworker and painter recycles old growth wood to make one of a kind lamps, art frames, furniture pieces and crosses.

You might not give a second glance to a dilapidated piece of wood on the side of the road or an abandoned palapa shack in the middle of the mangrove jungle but to Marcelo Eckhart, they're things of hidden beauty.

Old growth mangrove wood has a beauty unequaled by more recently harvested lumber. Turning old growth wood into tables, lamps and crosses is an example of natural elegance and renewed life.
