Unique, Rustic Garden Teak

Not long ago, this gorgeous rustic garden Teak furniture was the “root” of a tall, stately Teak tree. Having grown safely in a protected goverment-controlled Indonesian Teak Plantation; the roots after having been cut off from the tree, were abandoned as waste. Also left as waste were the branches, limbs, root balls, stumps and burl.

Just a little foresight, creativity and willingness to go and get these gnarly, strong and interesting, unwanted leftovers, changed their future. And TODAY there is a fabulous, unique, functional and comfortable piece of rustic garden furniture created from something that was simply going to be left to deteriorate over the next 1000 years, OR simply pulled out, ground and burned.

This is one-of-a-kind “God-Art!”

All of the reasons Teak is so desirable and lasting, are resident within each piece. Look at the color and hue of the grain. Look at the configuration of the piece. It’s like looking at a cloud. The longer you look at it, the more you will see . . . like maybe the head of an elephant, or a pelican or perhaps even a whale or a tiger. It is a the strongest and most durable exotic wood available, having been the choice for luxurious ship builders and expensive outdoor manufactured furniture across the centuries. Rustic garden Teak is a conversation piece, ready to grace any outdoor or indoor location. In fact, you may be surprised where your Teak Root actually ends up!

The care of natural Teak is very simple. We recommend that you keep your Teak under some kind of cover in order to deter or prevent weathering.  If your Teak is kept out in “chicken-baking” sun, in time a gentle pressure-wash, plus a possible light sanding and then a reapplication of Teak oil or spar urethene is all that is needed to keep its beautiful honey color and sheen. If you choose not to do that, the Teak will eventually become  beautiful contrasting shades of silver. Either way it is gorgeous!

Teak withstands all types of weather and can live in any state or climate. Teak gives termites and other bugs a toothache, so it will never be damaged by wood eating critters.  Believe me, you’ll never be sorry for having purchased a beautiful piece of Teak root.  As a matter of fact, we suggest putting it in your Will, since it’s definitely going to outlive all of us. 

Enjoy the gallery… and we look forward to seeing you at one of our shows.
