"The Wood Story"

"Pututan" or "Pototan" is an Exotic Hardwood that grows in tropical mud flats of a Mangrove Forest.  This extremely unique wood root has sections that grow flat, rather than round like most woods!  Each one a magnificent "Work of Art."  Every piece a true "One of a Kind!"

I discovered this wood in the early 1970's while in Southeast Asia.  The unique shape being flat instead of round was mystical .  I imported some and began the arduous task of debarking, cleaning, sanding and finishing which took a lengthy period of time.  All the pieces are finished by hand sanding and rubbed in oils bringing out the true wood colors and grain patterns.   I later imported approximately 55 more pieces in 1980.  I did not have time to finish all this wood, so it went into storage for some 40 years.  My wife and I are now retired and enjoy working on this beautiful wood.  We hope you too will find it enhances your décor!
