Giant Suar Slab
Thickness: 6”
Width: 80”-96”
Length: 18’
This slab originated in the jungles of Bali, Indonesia. It was properly harvested from a 300 year old fallen Suar tree that had been struck by lightning. Only 3 massive slabs were taken from that tree and this is one of them! With an immense 6’’ thickness, this slab can hold up in the elements unlike most wood slabs. Measuring 18’ in length and 8’ across; it currently holds its place as one of the largest reclaimed slabs in America. It had time to naturally grey in sunlight which brings out the beautiful and unique grain patterns associated with Suar wood.
Color tends to be a golden to dark brown, sometimes with darker streaks. Sapwood is usually thin and yellow/white, clearly demarcated from the heartwood. This wood is typically seen with highly figured curly or wild grain patterns.
Grain is usually straight, but can also be interlocked or wavy. Texture is medium to coarse, with medium to large open pores and a moderate natural luster.
Suar is rated as durable to very durable regarding decay resistance. It’s also resistant to most insect attacks.
One of the most common names for this species is Raintree, which is due to the leaves’ tendency to fold up at night or during periods of rainfall, allowing rain to pass through its broad canopy to the vegetation below.
Suar originated from south Mexico to Peru and Brazil. Today, the world’s leading Suar distributors include Thailand, Hawaii and Indonesia. It has crisscross interlocking grain which makes it resistant to cracking from wood movement. It is usually a golden to dark brown color with occasional darker streaks. Since the cultivating of this wood is very easy and it can be found almost anywhere, Suar wood furniture is strongly demanded both locally and internationally. It’s easily grown in new environments and grows faster than any other type of hardwood. It is one of the most often used to build furnishings such as tables, console tables, stands, benches and chests.
