Environmentally friendly, coconut wood is an attractive alternative to precious indigenous hardwoods. It is not expensive and can be used as any other wood.
The coconut palm is a monocotyledon; the hardwood comes from the outside unlike a normal tree where it is cut from the centre. The softwood is used to make smaller items
Koh Samui has a long-standing tradition in crafting the coconut wood. It is turned on lathes, in village workshops, to produce pots, bowls, & exotic arts & crafts pieces

Traditionally the islanders would use these utensils in their own homes, now we are lucky enough to share their skills.
Sustainable coconut wood has a striking grain, tactile & organic it is a pleasure to look at, touch & use
Nothing looks better than coconut wood bowls & plates used in food presentation, for soups, salads, noodles & fruit. The wood is food safe, & should be washed by hand in warm soapy water. No dishwashers, or soaking in water.
