The History & Heritage of Leadwood Wood (Hardekool)

Leadwood, known locally as Hardekool (meaning "hard coal"), is legendary for being one of the world's heaviest and hardest timbers—its density is so great that a dry piece will famously sink in water.

• A Symbol of Longevity: The Leadwood tree (Combretum imberbe) is celebrated for its extreme slow growth and immense lifespan. Historically, its unparalleled strength and natural immunity to rot and pests made it the ultimate material for applications requiring permanence, such as railway sleepers and mine support beams across Southern Africa.

• Prized and Protected: Due to its immense value and rarity, Leadwood is officially designated as a protected species in South Africa. Sourcing this genuine timber from licensed, ethical channels makes this dining table an exceptionally rare and cherished heirloom.

• Timeless African Elegance: The wood's striking dark heartwood, often featuring complex, mesmerizing grain patterns, ensures your round dining table is a truly unique, conversation-starting piece of natural history.

This handcrafted Leadwood dining table with X Style Pedestal Legs offers unparalleled durability and the prestigious, dark elegance of authentic African Hardekool for your most cherished meals.
