Fourex Surface Restoration

Fourex Surface Restoration After nearly 20 years of practicing law, our founder, Hunter Marckwald, knew it was time for a change.

Fourex Surface Restoration takes pride in restoring outdoor teak and ipe furniture, doors, decks, docks, pergolas, trellises, yachts, boats and other wood surfaces. Driven by his passion for woodworking, he decided to restore and enhance the beauty of outdoor teak furniture, doors, decks, docks, and other wooden surfaces. His vision was to build a team of highly skilled professionals committed to

serving homeowners, resorts, condominium and apartment complexes, government agencies, and yacht owners, offering exceptional surface restoration with an unwavering focus on the details that matter. Hunter’s passion for woodworking began in 1992 as a camper at Camp Pasquaney in New Hampshire, where he was introduced to the craft. That summer, he crafted a baseball bat on a lathe from a raw block of ash wood, an experience that left a lasting impression and a sense of accomplishment. In 2017, during a career transition, he rekindled his passion by enrolling in woodworking classes, which inspired him to purchase his own tools and set up a workshop in his garage. Over the years, he has created a wide range of pieces, from bowls and boxes to various types of furniture—and his greatest passion: electric guitars. Today, Hunter has turned his love for woodworking into a thriving business, restoring wood products to near-new condition. It’s the perfect example of turning a passion into a profession.

Many golf clubs feature dual-sided driving ranges, typically opening only one side at a time to preserve the grass as effectively as possible. To communicate which side is closed on any given day, many clubs utilize multiple signs. We propose a more efficient solution: a reversible A-Frame sign that can be flipped to indicate the closed side. This sign is crafted from Iroko wood, with letters intricately carved using CNC technology, painted, and filled with marine-grade epoxy for durability.

Throughout my years in woodworking, I have consistently retained any substantial scraps of quality wood species, anticipating that they would eventually contribute to a project. Over time, many small pieces have been repurposed into guitar parts, pens, and various other items. At Fourex, our large-scale projects have generated a significant amount of wood scraps in diverse shapes, sizes, and species. I continually remind the team in the shop to place these scraps in the designated bin rather than discarding them.

Recently, while awaiting the drying of a finish on a project, I utilized scraps from two of the hardest woods in the world to craft an end grain cutting board. Although this piece represents my initial attempt, it is likely to endure a lifetime at my house with appropriate care, owing to its durability and construction quality. I intend to dedicate some free time in the shop to creating similar items from wood that would otherwise be wasted, and I also plan to encourage my team to engage in prototyping new products using scrap wood for potential sale.

I will permit them to take these prototypes home to share with their families or present as gifts to friends. Once we finalize our product designs, we will offer them for sale to our customers. This approach not only promotes sustainability but also fosters enjoyment and may inspire innovative creations.

While we were off at a conference, our team at the shop was diligently working on signs for a customer who intends to affix them to a pylon on their dock in .

The customer plans to paint the signs in various tropical colors before returning them to us for the application of a marine varnish, which will safeguard them against harsh weather conditions.
