A tree with history
Saman (Rain tree): A colossus that stands strong, imposing and full of life.
In the vastness of nature, few trees possess the majesty of the Saman. A fine-looking, beautiful and elegant mast! Its warm tones and delicate veins are brushstrokes of art that nature has patiently traced.
Exotic wood, wood with a soul: For 80 years or more, the Saman protects its shell, dressing it with strength, creating between its rings a history full of testimonies, full of firmness. For decades it prepares its golden and reddish tones that intertwine in its veins, creating a unique harmony of beauty, ready to be revealed in each cut, in each piece, offering the connoisseur the majesty of nature before his eyes.
Prized by connoisseurs, appreciated by wood lovers, a tree from the fertile soil of the American tropics, with a short trunk and a spreading crown that forms a strong, straight, coarse stem, ready to be carved, transformed into that piece that will give life to your space, adorning it with history and grandeur.
Properties of Saman
Hardness
Its moderate hardness makes it durable yet easy to work with. With a Janka hardness rating of approximately 960 lbf, it is strong enough to withstand daily wear and tear, yet flexible enough for precise cuts and finishes. This characteristic makes it a popular choice for handcrafted furniture and high-end projects where a balance between durability and beauty is sought.
Impermeability
Its natural resistance to moisture makes it an excellent choice for projects requiring durability in wet conditions. Its density and structure help to delay water absorption.
Endurance
Its resistance to moisture and insects is remarkable, making it suitable for both interiors and exteriors. It is a wood that combines beauty and strength, elevating any project with its long-lasting presence.
Aesthetics
Its aesthetic is unique and captivating. Its deep, wavy veins create natural patterns that vary in each piece, adding character and elegance to any project. The warm tones, ranging from golden browns to reddish, make it an attractive choice for both furniture and architectural details. Its soft texture and natural shine make it ideal for those seeking beauty and distinction in craftsmanship or design work.
