This end table is hand-carved in Thailand from a single solid block of monkeypod wood (Samanea saman), also called rain tree and sold in the US as acacia. It has a rounded drum form. It is not made from laminated boards or veneer, and it arrives fully assembled.
The Barrel Drum has a smooth rounded form. The Puzzle Drum has a carved puzzle-like band around its body. Both are 18 inches high. They work beside a sofa or chair, as a bedside table, or as a pedestal for a lamp, bowl, or plant.
Artisans kiln-dry, rough-shape, and hand-carve the wood. Each table is finished with OSMO Wood Wax Finish. The translucent finish lets the grain and underlying wood tones show through, so the shade varies from the photographs. Grain, knots, natural checks, mineral streaks, and chainsaw or chisel marks differ from piece to piece. Some areas may be smoothed or repaired with wood glue mixed with sawdust.
