#### **Key Features & Characteristics:**
1. **The Slab: A Unique Canvas**
Each table is crafted from a single, solid slab of wood, showcasing the tree's entire history through its unique grain patterns, natural edges (live edges), and occasional knots or fissures. No two slabs are identical, ensuring your table is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
2. **The Wood: African Teak (Iroko)**
Often referred to as "African Teak," the wood used is typically **Iroko** (*Milicia excelsa*). It is a highly sought-after hardwood for its:
* **Exceptional Durability & Hardness:** Iroko is incredibly strong and resistant to wear, making it ideal for a high-use piece like a dining table.
* **Natural Resistance:** It possesses a natural resistance to moisture, rot, and insects, similar to true teak, which contributes to its longevity.
* **Stunning Color & Grain:** The heartwood ranges from a golden-yellow to a rich medium brown, often darkening to a beautiful, deep bronze over time. Its grain is typically interlocked, creating a distinctive ribbon-stripe figure that catches the light.
3. **Design Aesthetic: Rustic, Organic, and Timeless**
These tables effortlessly blend rustic charm with modern and organic design styles. The substantial presence of the solid wood slab creates a grounded, earthy feel, while the clean lines of the base can be adapted to suit contemporary, industrial, or traditional interiors.
4. **Craftsmanship & Finishing**
The creation of an African teak slab table requires skilled craftsmanship. The process involves:
* **Stabilization:** Ensuring the slab is properly kiln-dried to prevent future warping or cracking.
* **Finishing:** A high-quality, protective finish—such as a hard-wax oil, epoxy resin for filled voids, or a clear matte lacquer—is applied. This enhances the wood's natural color and grain while providing a durable surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
5. **Versatile Applications**
While most commonly used as a **dining table** or a **conference table**, these slabs are also beautifully repurposed as:
* A dramatic kitchen island top
* A commanding desk
* A console or entryway table
* A live-edge benchtop
