What is the best wood for carved log stools?

The best wood for carving is:

  • Durable in all weather
  • Resistant to borers and insects
  • Hard enough to avoid cracking during carving
  • Aesthetically pleasing with unique grain, color, and texture

While Mpingo (African Ebony) meets all these traits, it’s rare and protected in Kenya.

That’s why we use Jacaranda wood—a sustainable, locally available hardwood that’s ideal for furniture carving. It checks the boxes for quality, strength, and beauty.

Other Qualities to Look For in Carving Wood:

Parts of a tree trunk

Simple vessel perforations (helps in carving detail)

Fine to medium texture

Straight grains and visible growth rings

Distinct heartwood and sapwood

Pleasant or neutral odor

High density and tough fiber walls

Why carved furniture transforms your living space

Hand-carved furniture, especially log stools, introduces:

  • Natural texture and warmth
  • A break from mass-produced monotony
  • Global design elements and a multicultural feel
  • Unique styling options—no two pieces are ever alike

Log stools, in particular, are ideal for:

  • Side tables for sofas or lounge chairs
  • Decorative accents beside a console, bed, or TV stand
  • Pedestals for floral vases or potted plants
  • Standalone statement pieces in hallways or corners

Style tip: Mix and match various designs for an eclectic yet balanced look—avoid overusing similar shapes or finishes.
