Stool chiseled top natural

Description

These rustic handmade stools have a chiseled top and smooth legs. They are great for multiple uses. Use it as a stool, step-up, plant-stand, or design feature: it’s up to you! Our chiseled stools are made of solid mango wood and are available in 3 colors (brown, black & natural). The top thickness is 3 cm.

Mango wood:
These stools are made from a special type of hardwood: mango wood from India. This type of wood is sustainable because it’s a byproduct of an already thriving industry: mango fruit. The trees grow on a large scale in India and they mature quickly: in 15 years instead of for instance oaks (50-100 years). The fruit production is good in the first period of the tree. As it grows older, fruit production also decreases. That is why this tree is economically less valuable on the mango plantations. The solution for mango farmers is then: to cut down and replant. Because of this way of working, the wood of the mango tree is sustainable. The forest is not just cut down. After his life as a food producer, the wood gets a second life as a piece of furniture.

Features:
The base of mango wood has a warm color, but due to the color variations in the wood, there may be deviations. It gives every piece of furniture a robust and unique appearance. The wood has some sawcut markings which add a vintage twist.

Finish:
We sanded the mango wood and gave it a sealer coating for the protection of water stains. The coating gives a natural look to the wood, instead of making the color dark or yellowish we kept it as original as possible.

Maintenance:
-Wipe down periodically with a slightly damp or dry dust cloth that contains no heavy stitching, in order to avoid scratches.
-Avoid all cleaning tools with a rough surface.
-Avoid polish or cleaning products containing silicone, which can dry out natural wood over time.
-Do not use detergents or any cleaning products that contain ammonia.
-Rub the wax into the wood to create a beautiful shine and a natural protective finish. It also prevents the wood from drying out.
-Mineral oil can be applied using a cloth. This will build up over time to produce a protective surface.
