Based
on the traditional English Rectory Table, this splendid piece boasts
full width railway timbers to give a rugged hand crafted masterpiece
that goes perfectly with the Rectory bench. Solidly constructed and
versatile, it is ideal as a social kitchen table or occasional table
for a veranda, wine cellar or any other place special to you
The timber used to build this wonderful piece is probably the finest
and most valuable timber used anywhere in the world to build furniture.
Finest because of its unique properties of extreme hardness and density
(just try to pick up a Savanna Wood table and you will see what we
mean) and beautiful colour and rich close grain, opulently finished by
our expert craftsmen. African hardwoods, and especially the Zambezi
Teak used at Savanna Wood, largely as a result of adaptation to the
tough environment they grow in, are much denser than other so-called
‘hardwood’ species used to build furniture. This makes the timber very
difficult to work with, but virtually indestructible. At Savanna Wood
we take great pride and care to build our products to the highest
standards, with the best and most effective joinery methods being used
for each piece. Thus our products will last many generations if card
for.
Valuable because of the rarity of this wonderful resource. At the turn
of the last century railroads were built into Central Africa to open up
the region to trade and administration. The ‘sleepers’ or ‘ties’ used
to build these railways were harvested from a locally available
resource, African Hardwoods, and in particular Zambezi Teak. The
majority of these timbers have long since been replaced by concrete.
However, some still exist on old rail lines or in mines, or were
collected by locals when they were lifted to use as fence posts or
building material. At Savanna Wood we have teams scouring Central
Africa for the wonderful and valuable timbers to manufacture into truly
unique Furniture products. However, there are very few timbers left,
ant they will increase in value exponentially, as will the Savanna Wood
furniture made from them!
At Savanna Wood we take great care and pride in the construction of our
tables, and the Rectory Table is no exception. They are our ‘Flagship’
products and we believe that you will not find a better constructed or
more durable table in the world. Our table tops are solid timber right
through, with no false edges to give the appearance of a thick top.
These magnificent slabs of the finest furniture timber are supported on
four beautifully turned pillar legs held in place by large section
timber stretchers connected by perfect mortice and tennon joints. The
top is held on by specially manufactured steel brackets, capable of
taking the full weight of the table while allowing for the natural
movement of solid wood.
Each table is checked for quality no less that six times during the
production process and no piece is allowed out of the factory without a
final, thorough, check by the Senior Management Team.
The timber used to manufacture your masterpiece is probably the finest
timber utilised anywhere in the world to make furniture, extremely hard
with a fine, close grain and deep, rich natural colour. Zambezi Teak is
a very dense, and therefore hard, wood. It is sometimes mistaken for
Asian, Indian or Indonesian teak, which is a completely different
species. Our Zambezi Teak is very much harder and more difficult to
work. However, because it is so hard it is extremely resistant to
biological attack and physical ware and tare, and will last, if looked
after, for many hundreds of years.
The furniture is constructed utilising traditional methods of excellence.
