a teak bench for a client's shower room
This bench was made for a shower room. It is made from teak that I procured while in Thailand. Thai farmers had used this particular teak in the rice field to thrash the rice plants upon to release the rice from the plant. After decades of use and exposure to the weather the teak has great character and we left the "raw" edge showing on the end of the bench to accentuate the rustic nature of the piece.
The natural oils inherent in the teak will protect the piece from constant exposure to water and moisture in the client's shower room.
