Brazilian Mahogany handmade table and 4 benches
Brazilian Mahogany handmade table and 4 benches
Hand-crafted by a skilled carpenter, these 4 benches and table have been made from salvaged mahogany which we believe is the Brazilian Mahogany we recovered several years ago from Edinburgh University who were refurbishing an old Victorian building.
This wood came from the window shutters, and hence these items have been fabricated carefully using this wood only.
Each item of furniture is entirely unique in size and design. The colour of the wood is almost identical for each piece so ideal as a matching set.
being listed as a set, I would be willing to sell items individually.
We recovered some 30 tons of 100+ year old window shutters from Edinburgh University about 6 years ago. Some of the wood has been sold as salvaged. However our skilled craftsman - Des - made some quirky furniture and items using his skils gained in over 40 years of carpentry. These benches and table are all that we have left of this salvaged wood products. Many many hours of work went into making these. Looking after the wood is as easy as applying linseed oil to keep the wood moist. None of these have been varnished or stained so it is the natural colour. Each item is made using solid mahogany.....it#39;s not veneer!
