Teak Scrap Sphere- 5" and up

Product Description

Built up piece by piece with no internal support and held together by bamboo pins, these spheres are hand made from scraps of teak wood, and are available in a number of sizes. We found these in a remote part of Java where the teak forests have been decimated, but are now protected and slowly growing once again. Locals have adapted and found clever ways to use the remaining scraps from old stumps and off-cuts. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Outside will weather to a soft grey driftwood color.

Now available in these sizes: 5", 12", 20", 32", 40", 60"

FYI

Bird Cages

I first found birdcages at the bird market in Tulungagung, on the island of Java. An open-air venue, it is a bustling place, with a maze of cages hanging at head level, vats of wriggling grubs, and seedy professional traders making deals out back. I went with the local favorites, a selection of tried and true utilitarian models.
