Butcher Block
Singapore Butcher Block table top is made up of many different wood of various trees. It is made of a mixture of wood from these Singaporean Trees such as the Khaya, Narra, Tembusu, Durian, Rambutan, Jack Fruit, and Sea Apple.
African Mahogany
The African Mahogany is a hardwood with deep reddish hues. It’s a native tree that was introduced in the late 1970s and has since become one of Singapore’s favourite roadside trees.
Angsana
Angsana wood is prized for its gorgeous, bright golden-yellow and reddish-brown tones. It’s soft and easy to cut, yet very durable when polished. Angsana is very popular in Southeast Asia as a shade tree, so it’s also known for its pleasant fragrance when you work with it.
The Manufacturing Process
See how our local trees are being transformed into solid wood tabletops.
Trees are pruned or chopped down during the daily landscape maintenance across the island.
The tree logs are gathered and brought to a wood yard.
The tree logs are then cut into regular shapes and sizes.
The wood is placed in a kiln room for drying and reducing the moisture in it.
Once out of kiln room, the wood then are either rough sawn, sanded smooth or varnished.
Finally the tabletop is being assembled onto the electric desk.
Trees In Singapore
With about 2 million trees planted along roadsides, in parks and state land, it is important to regularly inspect and prune or cut the trees to ensure their health, wellbeing and safety. More than 10 tonnes of the trees are cut down and disposed during the daily landscaping maintenance across the island.
Giving Trees A New Lease Of Life
Instead of letting it being disposed, we turned to these Singaporean solid wood for our standing desk tabletop and give them a new lease of life. These Singaporean solid wood are often discarded or turned into wood chips because little can be done with them in the city. It also helps in someway to prevent deforestation.
