Dining Table Slab — 4.76 m, Warm Saman Grain

The character Saman (Samanea saman) brings a calm, workable look here: the grain reads straight, the colour sits in a warm natural range, and the live edges keep the piece from feeling over-finished. In the photos, the surface shows a gentle contrast between lighter sapwood and a richer central field, giving you enough movement for a statement top without losing clarity. What it wants to become This is a slab for a maker who wants length first. The proportion invites a long dining surface, a reception piece, or a bench with presence, while the thickness keeps the profile visually light. The shape is honest and slightly untamed, so a clean base will do the heavy lifting and let the timber stay the focus. | Character | Read | | Grain | Straight | | Edge | Live, organic | | Colour | Warm, natural contrast | | Surface feel | Calm, open, easy to read | Shop-floor confidence Kiln dried and recorded at 16.1% moisture, this slab is ready for the next stage of careful maker work. The public code VV5QSA87 links the piece to its wood passport, so your team can keep the material story with the finished work.
