RECTORY TABLE

Designs for our table were derived and modified from the traditional English Rectory Table. Because of its versatility and adaptability, not only in design but also in structure, one might place this most distinguished of tables either indoors or outdoors.

Strengthen and toughened through exposure to the natural African elements, the immaculate and elegant Zambezi Teak used in the production of the Rectory Table is of the highest quality. Only the most exquisite pieces of timber are chosen by our perceptive craftsman to be used in the tables.

Evident in our products is the most meticulous care and attention to detail that go into their creation. The rectory table is no exception. As the timber is extremely complex to work with due to its hardened nature, our pieces are carefully constructed. Along with this, the rarity of Zambezi Teak ensures that our pieces will rise in value as time goes by.

ENGLISH RECTORY BENCH

Stately and majestic are the ideal descriptive words of the English Rectory Bench, impeccably crafted by Savanna Wood. The English Rectory Bench can be considered as one of our premier items, making it the perfect compliment to the Rectory Table.

At Savanna Wood, our pieces have to meet the highest standards in production, therefore our master craftsmen carefully monitor each step of the creation process so as to ensure the utmost quality you have come to expect from out products.

No expense is spared during the construction of our products. Tabletops are made of the most superb African hardwood, used in whole pieces for its elegant appearance and sturdy and robust properties. Four skilfully turned pillar legs support the structure securely with the aid of precise mortice and tennon joints. This guarantees that whether one wishes to place the table indoors or out, if taken care of, it shall remain in mint condition.

RECTORY TABLE

The English Rectory Table is the inspiration for this wonderful piece. It has been a historically successful design and our collection of tables would be incomplete without a similar model.
This grand item boasts a number of full width Zambezi Teak slabs that will not fail to impress. The charm of the tables’ beautifully handcrafted legs will also add to the overall grandeur of the piece.
A particularly good match with Savanna Wood’s English Rectory Bench, also fashioned on the time honoured classic, the English Rectory bench, the set is acutely attractive and is the perfect addition to the kitchen, wine cellar or veranda.
No filling work is permitted on Savanna Wood items and the one hundred percent Zambezi Teak solid table top is no exception. Ably supported by a specially constructed steel bracket which is designed to allow for the natural movement of the wood, expect this table to be around for many hundreds of years to come!

ENGLISH RECTORY BENCH

Designed and constructed with the intention to compliment the Rectory Table, the English Rectory Bench as its name suggests is modelled on traditional English furniture design. It is a particluarly solid item that is both rugged and durable and will take much wear and tear especially seeing as Zambezi Teak is incredibly dense and tough to break. Resillient also when it comes to biological threat, this African hardwood is a real champion among furniture making timbers.
At Savanna Wood we believe in our medium and refrain from staining as well as from performing “filling in” jobs, instead preferring to allow the true beauty of the wood to shine through. Of course removing any option to hide poor workmanship means of course that the construction process at Savanna Wood must be of optimum quality, which is why at every stage of product development, a series of stringent quality checks are carried out to ensure that the final product is nothing short of a masterpiece.
