POLE RATTAN – Pole rattan is light but very strong, so it is an ideal material for crafting lightweight, durable furniture. Pole rattan skin, called “rattan peel” or “cane matting” can be woven and used for chair seats and accessories.
PETRIFIED WOOD – When wood turns to stone, via a process called permineralization, the organic material is replaced with minerals while the original structure of the tree remains intact. Different minerals yield a variety of rich and vibrant colours that are associated with petrified wood; naturally occurring fissure lines also add
interest and depth.
