The History & Heritage of Leadwood Wood (Hardekool)

Leadwood, famously known as Hardekool (which translates to "hard coal"), is celebrated globally for being among the heaviest and hardest woods—its density is so great that a dry piece will famously sink in water.

• A Wood of Eternal Strength: The Leadwood tree (Combretum imberbe) is revered for its extreme slow growth and immense lifespan. Historically, its unparalleled strength and natural immunity to rot and pests made it essential for permanent structural applications, including railway sleepers and mine support beams across Southern Africa.

• A Rare and Protected Commodity: Due to its immense value and scarcity, Leadwood is officially designated as a protected species in South Africa. Sourcing this genuine timber from licensed, ethical channels makes the slab used in this heirloom-quality table exceptionally rare and a true investment piece.

• Natural African Elegance: The wood is prized for its dramatic, dark brown to nearly black heartwood, featuring complex, stunning grain patterns that ensure your table is a unique piece of enduring natural history.

This handcrafted Leadwood coffee table with X-legs is an investment in unparalleled quality, bringing the prestigious heritage and powerful beauty of African Hardekool into your home.
