Description

  • Carved Column Pedestal — a single turning column rising to a flat top, at the height you want beside a sofa, an armchair or a bed. As a pedestal it takes up far less floor space than a four-legged end table, and because the whole form is carved rather than assembled it reads as a piece of sculpture even with nothing set on it.
  • Cut From One Solid Log — the log is cross-cut, rough-shaped with a chainsaw, traced to pattern, then carved by hand into its finished form. There are no joints, no veneer and no composite core anywhere in it. The piece is solid timber from top to base, which is why it has real weight when you lift it and why the grain runs continuously around the whole form instead of stopping at a seam.
  • Solid Monkeypod, Samanea saman — of the Fabaceae or bean family. It is sold in the United States as acacia, known in Thailand as Mai Jumjaree, and called rain tree or koa elsewhere. Different names, one wood. No lumber yard stocks it: the trees are cut to order and have to be rough-carved within weeks, or the timber dries and breaks up before anyone can work it.
  • Finished With Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin — a plant-based oil built on soybean, sunflower and thistle oils with carnauba and candelilla waxes. It soaks into the timber instead of forming a film across it, so it cannot crack, peel, flake or blister the way a surface lacquer does, and it leaves the grain visible and open to the touch. Arrives fully assembled, with nothing to build.
  • Every Piece Is Different — grain, knot placement, colour depth and small surface checks vary from one piece to the next and from the photographs. Checks are the drying cracks solid timber forms as it settles, and small filled repairs are made during finishing; both are properties of one-log construction, not faults. Carved in Thailand, and each piece carries the Haussmann H mark on its base.
