INDONESIAN SUAR

Unique Characteristics

Indonesian Suar table tops are more than just strikingly beautiful. They also come with a unique set of practical benefits. The key to these benefits lies in the wood’s interlocking grain, which not only provides a visually striking texture but also offers substantial resilience. This interlocking grain, combined with our careful process of air drying and kilning, means that our Suar wood has an extremely high resistance to cracking and warping, allowing it to withstand changes in humidity and temperature better than many other woods.

As a result, a table top from Indonesian Suar doesn’t just offer a unique visual statement—it also promises longevity and durability. It’s a piece of furniture designed to withstand the test of time, providing you with a table that’s as enduring as it is beautiful.

Slab Size & Thickness

The thickness of these slabs varies from approximately 60mm to 150mm. Generally speaking, a 2m long slab will be around 60mm thick, a 3m slab will be 80-100mm, and anything over 4m in length will be 100mm plus in thickness. We’ll use our experience to make sure that the slab we select is of a thickness that works well for the base design and table size that you’ve chosen.

Fully Sustainable & Traceable

These exotic, highly sought-after Suar slabs originate from a tightly regulated source in Indonesia, ensuring their full sustainability and traceability. This source is FLEGT licensed, meaning the slabs comply with the UK’s strict regulations that guarantee responsible and ethical sourcing. This enables you to enjoy the rarity and allure of these exotic slabs without worrying about any negative environmental impacts.

Due to their limited supply, we source each Suar slab to order. If you decide to place an order, we’ll find the best slabs available in the size you’ve requested and send you photos of the options. This selection process means you’ll know exactly what you’re getting and ensures you’re happy with your chosen slab before we transform it into a one-of-a-kind centrepiece that will last forever.

Aftercare & Guarantee

We’ve worked very hard to find a source that not only complies with the UK’s strict sustainability guidelines but also treats this timber with the respect and thoroughness that it deserves. Each slab undergoes a meticulous process of air drying and kilning, ensuring proper seasoning. We further enhance the slab’s durability by installing hidden reinforcement rods to control any movement in the timber.

Due to our level of confidence in the process, each slab comes with our Wood Movement Warranty to ensure the longevity of your table. Our goal is to make sure that each unique piece retains its distinctive charm and serves as a cherished part of your space for a lifetime.
