The decorative is made of solid SUAR wood. When we refer to solid, we mean woods that are constructed entirely from the tree trunk. Solid is the most expensive choice in wood species but stands out for its timeless aesthetic.
Suar wood is the wood of the Albizia Saman tree, sometimes called the rain tree, a native tree to South America. This tree was introduced to Indonesia as a plantation tree. The wood is known by many different names, such as Monkeypod, Samenes Saman, Parota, South American Walnut, and Acadia, as well as Suar Wood. It is a beautifully shaped wood, with abundant intersecting "grains". The "heart" of the wood is close to the color of walnut, while the rest of the wood is lighter in color.
Each piece of Suar wood, like each snowflake, is unique. The formation of the wood's "grains" can vary significantly, making one piece appear more desirable to a specific customer than another.
Properly dried, Suar wood is very strong and durable.
