Twist Stool 10 in SQ x 16 in H Walnut OIl

We started out sourcing products for customers. Over the years we have seen many designs made by artisans and have been presented with sketches from many clients. We have to interpret the requested design so that it can be fashioned in a manner that the wood workers can make consistently and that is pleasing to the client from their original idea. We try to adapt existing wood workers designs to fit the client's desires. We have started to create our own designs using as much of the scrap and recycled wood as possible. These designs grow from trends and ideas that we have seen over the years and that customer’s voice they would like to see

Monkey Pod Wood aka Acacia, Rain Tree, Koa

As with all natural exotic wood products there will be some slight variation in color, texture, and finish color. This is mainly due to the underlying natural wood tones, which the translucent oil is applied over, creating a truly unique one of a kind Functional Work of Art
Products will have visible marks from tools used, patches from small repairs, knot holes, natural inclusions, and or worm holes
There will be various separations or cracks on your piece when it arrives. These naturally occurred as the wood was dried and shrank. Over time, some continued shrinkage may accentuate existing separations or generate new ones. This does not compromise the structural performance or integrity of the wood and is considered inherent to the natural beauty of the design.
All of our products are natural and handmade. Therefore sizes are just an approximation but are generally within plus or minus a quarter inch. We cannot guarantee the products are perfectly square or flat. We do create useable and reasonably flat surfaces while highlighting the natural wood inclusions and hand carved surface.
We do not fill in or repair carving marks, or natural inclusions like knots and branch growths. Instead we sand to blend them in and assure smooth edges and surfaces that are useable. On some products we will use the same wood to fill in old worm holes and larger separations
The wood is from a tropical climate, and like all wood, is still alive. It will change some over time based on your climate, and whether you place the piece in direct sunlight, or by a heating or cooling source, like in front of an air vent. Small cracks may appear but this is normal and will stop occurring over time
The color, after finish is applied, will vary from the pictures depicted for every single piece. This is because the oil is the same tone but the color of the underlying wood of the piece it is going on varies. Monkey Pod Wood (Acacia, Rain Tree) like all woods, has varying tones of browns in the reddish to black ranges depending on its age. The new growth, or “white wood”, ages from white to yellowish changing to light yellowish browns over time.
Farmed Teak Wood has more light wood as the trees are relatively younger. We do not cut around the natural sap holes as they are part of the natural beauty. Depending on the oil used you will see various grain swirls in a multitude of colors.
Mango Wood is generally a light wood but will have inclusions from branches and growths that are much darker.
In all of these tropical woods, mold blooms that create dark stains are natural
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
