Aesthetically Pleasing Furnitures from Maesopsis Eminii

Maesopsis eminii is an exotic species originated from the African continent, and it was planted in FRIM in 1952. But by now due to the numerous quantities of fallen dead trees and trees marked for removal, an effort was made to produce functional art pieces out of these salvaged trees. Thus, a fallen Maesopsis eminii tree was chosen as a material for this project. The tree was obtained from Field 31, FRIM. It was processed by using Saw-Dry-Rip (SDR) method to maintain the unique feature of the bark, and later it underwent forced air circulation treatment for 6 months. Thereafter, the slabs were successfully transformed into aesthetically pleasing office furnitures.
