Suar wood has a height that can reach 25 m and a diameter of up to 40 cm. The habitat of flare wood is in fields and forests, some even growing along the highway. Because the cultivation of this wood is very easy and can be found almost anywhere, furniture made from flare wood is in great demand in Indonesia and internationally. Suar Wood has one thing in common with seashells. Just like every seashell has a different pattern, so does suar wood. The criss-cross nature of the grains brings about interesting designs and patterns on the wood. If you cut out a piece of suar wood ten different times, it’s highly likely that you’ll get ten different patterns. There is one more aspect to the natural patterns. It’s the color of the patterns, you get a dark brown finish, as well as a light brown. This is great for long tables in restaurants and offices because of the unique patterns which give a different feel to each table that breaks away monotony.
