Mai Theng Burled Wood Coffee Table v.2
Product Description
Mai Theng wood, also known as Balau, is a hardwood that is denser than teak and with the reddish coloring of mahogany. Its rich tropical oils allow it to work outdoors, just like teak. This prized wood requires more time in the kiln and stronger saw blades to cut, resulting in less widespread use than teak.
Burl describes the area of a tree that has experienced some sort of environmental stress as a sapling. Nature’s own defense to the stress is for the grain to fold in on itself, creating the most extraordinary patterns. Burl is found in the most luxurious automobiles, yachts, instruments, and furnishings. Typically sliced thin and used to cover less expensive wood, the top of this table from the Phillips Collection is made from a solid, thick slab of prized burl wood.
