- EPOXY VERSES TRADITIONAL FURNITURE -

Here is one of our epoxy tables 'Oritsu'. Notice how the central part of the wooden slab is much darker than its outer ends. This is because the slab used in this table spans the entire width of the tree so nothing is wasted. The lighter outer edge is what's known as 'Live Bark' which appears just after you remove the 'Dead Bark' the exposed outer layer of any tree. Compared with producing traditional furniture this method saves a lot more of the tree.

Here is an example of how traditional furniture is made. The inside of the rectangular border represents the section of the tree going to be preserved for the table top. Whereas the material outside the border will be cut off as wastage. This wastage represents about 10-40% of the tree depending on the inconsistency of its natural growth. The reason for this is to achieve a UNIFORM SHAPE. Find out below how we achieve uniformity without wasting a lot of the tree.
