Tropical Salvage furniture is made from tropical hardwoods which we salvage on several different islands of the Indonesian archipelago. None of the wood comes from standing trees. We select quality hardwoods that are both durable and exceptionally beautiful. The wood is old: some a few decades old, some a thousand years old. It beautifully expresses its history as wild-growth grain figure, mineral accumulation, and the effects of nails, seasoning cracks & bore holes are evident in many pieces. They are a wonderful testament to the wood's historical richness and new life.  Built durably, and to be utilitarian & timeless in style, a piece can be enjoyed by many successive generations.
