Reclaimed Kokko Hardwood Slabs
Reclaimed Kokko Slabs
The British and Burmese planted these massive Kokko trees in the 19th and early 20th centuries to provide shade from the intense Burmese sun. Rather than cut them down, buildings were (and are still) built around them. The trees are found all over Burma where they have grown to 150ft and higher. Our Kokko trees were salvaged knock downs from hurricane Nargis which hit the Yangon area in 2008. All of the kokko trees we slab were downed in this hurricane and have been air drying since that time. It’s an honor to create beautiful furniture from these knock downs thereby extending, in a way, the longevity of this wood. Kokko is perfect for furniture-particularly live edge slab furniture such as shown here. Though the slabs pictured below are large-over 10’ft long, we can create tables to fit you exact needs. Contact us for custom orders.
If you are interested in a custom designed Kokko wood slab (or teak ) let us know your specifications. We will email you photographs of raw, unfinished slabs that either fit your measurements or can be cut to those measurements. Total milling and coating time is approximately 2.5 weeks. Shipping from Rangoon to USA takes approximately 5 weeks.
