A sheesham slideboard to add a touch of Scandinavian vintage style to your living room
You can easily add a touch of Scandinavian vintage lifestyle with a uniquely crafted slideboard placed in a strategic location inside your living room. This is a great reminder of a skiing holiday you may have gone or are planning to go. To make it even more exotically striking, you can choose to display a slide board made of sheesham wood. This will definitely leave your guests thoroughly impressed. But what exactly is this exotic sounding type of wood?
Sheesham is actually a very popular type of wood used to manufacture furniture in India. It is in fact a unique variety of rosewood found in India. Its scientific name is Dalbergia Sisoo. The dense hard wood is usually harvested after 100 years in India’s sustainable forests. Its timber is significantly popular in the Indian subcontinent due to its exceptional strength, durability, and ability to provide a perfect glossy finish. Its naturally irregular grain pattern gives it a distinctive appearance especially after it has been polished to a fine finish. The wood is a popular choice for cabinets and coffee table designs mainly because it does not easily warp, can withstand termite attacks, and takes polish extremely well.
A coffee table made of this exotic wood is not only trendy but very long-lasting too. The strong and durable timber is also used in making decorative carvings and handheld percussion instruments. It is also used in manufacture of agricultural tools, boats, wood flooring, and of course skis. So if you want a specifically striking slideboard to add a real feel of Scandinavian culture to your living room, get one made of this exotic wood variety. It is not always easy to find such rare items but you can always check on leading online furniture stores such as Tikamoon which specializes in all types of modern and rare furniture items.
