They felt this sturdy sustainable Monkey Pod wood cube end table in eco-friendly, natural food-safe Livos Walnut oil finish deserved a name that sounded as artistic as it looked. A tasteful blend of rusticity and refinement, this cube reminds us that strength and beauty can go hand in hand. Its smooth surfaces entice you to feel them, admire the rich wood grain, and appreciate the natural beauty. Designed for standalone use, or in groups as a table or bench, each is carved from a piece of Monkey Pod wood and finished with Livos Walnut Oil. Appealing to the viewer from any angle, each piece is a Work of Art! Craftspeople from the Chiang Mai area in Northern Thailand create these pieces with the simplest of tools. After each Monkey Pod wood (Acacia, Koa, Rain Tree has grown for wood carving) piece is kiln dried, carved, and sanded, Livos Walnut oil creates a water-resistant and food-safe matte finish. The natural oils are translucent, so the wood grain detail is highlighted. Color ranges from medium to dark Walnut brown tones that will darken as the wood ages. There is no oily feel; and cannot bleed into carpets, as it contains natural lacs. Made from the branches of the Acacia tree - where each branch is cut and carved to order (allowing the tree to continue growing), we make minimal use of electric hand sanders in the finishing process. All products are dried in solar and or propane kilns. No chemicals are used in the process, ever. This piece is packaged in cartons from recycled cardboard with no plastic or other fillers. The color and grain of your piece of Nature will be unique and may include small checks or cracks that occur when the wood is dried. Sizes are approximate. Products could have visible marks from tools used, patches from small repairs, knot holes, natural inclusions, or holes. There may be various separations or cracks on your piece when it arrives. There may be some slight variation in size, color, texture, and finish color.
