While we custom build bespoke pubs and bars for Pubs, restaurants, Hotels and Lodges, one of our most popular products is our ‘Quarter Section Pub’ that can be combined with further quarter sections or straight sections to give you almost any design combination from a completely round bar to a long straight bar in sections that are easy to bolt together and move around. Built from wonderfully tough African Teak, also known as Rhodesian Teak, this is a uniquely valuable piece of furniture because of the superb quality and rarity of the timber used in its construction. This lovely piece is finished off with a solid brass foot rail.

Reclaimed African Hardwood Info
This is the famous Savanna Wood Quarter section pub as a stand alone pub, one of our most popular products. An original Savanna Wood design that imitators have tried, unsuccessfully, to copy (it is a complicated design to make, requiring skill and experience), many thousands of happy evenings have been spent around our pubs. Everything from the solid brass foot rail to the magnificent curved top of ancient reclaimed hardwood is pure quality and class.

The wildness and beauty of the African bush growing on the deep and ancient sands of the Kalahari veldt belies the savagely harsh conditions under which diverse species of flora manage to prosper and grow. To survive these adverse conditions requires a resilience and toughness unknown in other species. One of the hardest and most durable of these African hardwood trees, Baikiaea plurijuga, a.k.a. Zambezi Teak, is amongst the most beautiful timbers in the world, with a fine, close grain and deep, rich natural colour.

This characteristic of extreme durability and the fact that B. plurijuga is so prevalent on the Kalahari sand veldt, made it the timber of choice for the early settlers at the beginning of the last centaury to build railway lines, housing, workshops, fence lines and much else. Occasionally a building with beams and trusses made of B. plurijuga will be demolished, or a hundred year old section of rail line will be lifted and the sleepers (known as ties in America) will be replaced with concrete. We send out teams to scour Central Africa for the last remaining sources of these antique timbers which we buy up (they are becoming increasingly scarce and difficult to find) and return to our workshop to be handcrafted into our Reclaimed Zambezi Teak collection of what must  be some of the most intrinsically valuable furniture being crafted in the modern age. It has been seasoned by the elements over the decades to the consistency of steel, making it extremely difficult to work with, but virtually indestructible. It is truly an investment of a lifetime that will last countless lifetimes.

We do not believe there is any timber in the world with finer qualities for manufacturing exceptional furniture. Zambezi Teak is extremely hard with a fine, close grain and deep, rich natural colour. It is harvested from the vast forests of Matabeleland situated on the fringe of the Kalahari Desert. The wildness and beauty of the African bush growing on the deep and ancient sands of the Kalahari veldt belies the savagely harsh conditions under which diverse species of flora manage to prosper and grow. To survive these adverse conditions requires a resilience and toughness unknown in other species. One of the hardest and most durable of these African hardwood trees, Baikiaea plurijuga, a.k.a. Zambezi Teak, is amongst the most beautiful timbers in the world, with a fine, close grain and deep, rich natural colour. Harvesting is conducted under the strict supervision of the Forestry Commission, an internationally respected body who are charged with the preservation and commercial utilization of all indigenous forests.  Savanna Wood pay royalties on all timber cut into a trust fund for the benefit of the communities living in and around the forests.  Utilization of the payments is decided by the trustees, comprising a representative of the community, Forestry Commission and Savanna Wood. Funds may be for schools, clinics, boreholes or other projects that benefit the community as a whole.  Because they benefit financially from this arrangement, it is in the communities’ interests to preserve the forests. Savanna also sponsor other projects to help local communities reduce dependency on illegal tree cutting.
