This beautiful piece of Monkeypod was salvaged from Oahu, Hawaii and hand finished on the Big Island. Monkeypod, also known as Suar, comes from the Rain Tree. Suar Wood is strong and durable with a light yellow sapwood and rich dark chocolate-brown heartwood. The rich colour and striking, but subtle grain of the heartwood, resembling black walnut makes wood from larger trees highly prized for the table top. The wood is often cross-grained making it highly sought after for its robustness. It is also highly resistant to decay and termites. Maintain this wood with regular conditioning of beeswax and orange oil.
