great buys » exotic hardwood house posts

There’s nothing else like them this side of the Pacific – exotic hardwood house posts. As-is, these pieces – reclaimed from vintage pole structures in Southeast Asia – come with an authentic patina from years of tropical seasoning. Milled, surfaced and finished, they yield a wood that glows with a deep, rich luster. These are true showpieces. Rare, antique old-growth tropical hardwood pieces like these become available to us as traditional pole structures are taken down to make room for new development throughout Southeasr Asia. These exotic, one-of-a-kind pieces – with unique history and character – are a deal at $750 per two or more pieces or $1,000 per single piece.
