Sotae Wood
A Korean wood with light, warm colour and natural grain, offered in live-edge boards and round slices.
WOODWAY MAGAZINEThe bitterness found throughout the sotae tree comes from quassin. Its softly pale orange heartwood differs from the lemon-yellow wood of the lacquer tree.
Light orange-yellow wood. Natural cross-cut slices with openings have distinctive forms.
