Timber with a story

Every piece begins with carefully selected timber, sourced close to home and chosen for its character, durability, and provenance.

Blue Gum

Eucalyptus grandis

Sustainably grown in the highlands of Kenya

Pale straw to light pink in tone, with a tight, even grain. Dries to a smooth, hard surface that takes a natural oil finish beautifully. Light yet remarkably strong.

Mahogany

Khaya anthotheca

Responsibly sourced East African mahogany

Rich reddish-brown heartwood with a fine, interlocked grain. Naturally lustrous, it deepens to a warm glow over time. Dense and stable, ideal for statement pieces.

Meru Oak

Vitex keniensis

Indigenous to the Mount Kenya region

Golden-hued hardwood with a moderately coarse, straight grain. Hard-wearing and dimensionally stable, it finishes to a warm satin sheen.

Teak

Tectona grandis

Plantation-grown in the Kenyan coast

Honey-golden timber with a characteristic straight grain and natural oil content. Exceptionally durable and weather-resistant, it ages gracefully to a soft silver-grey.

Reclaimed Wood

Mixed hardwoods

Salvaged from old Kenyan structures and fencing

Every board carries its own history — visible knots, nail marks, and patina. Dense, seasoned, and full of character that only decades of weathering can produce.

All pieces are made to order at Ololo Lodge, Nairobi. Custom sizes and finishes available — get in touch to discuss your requirements.
