About Us, The Wood Colony

"Bringing lovers of natural wood together." Solid Wood Furniture Johor Bahru (JB)

It all started with a deep-seated passion and love for the beauty of natural wood. We always wanted a way to maintain aspects of the natural wood in our furniture, while also having it custom made in designs we picked out so that it would fit just right. Realizing how limited our options were, we took up the mantle to search for a means to get all this, and share our discoveries with fellow lovers and fans of exclusivity and wood art! From there, The Wood Colony was established.

At The Wood Colony, we hope to build a colony of people who are drawn together by their common desire to beautify their homes, offices and other spaces with natural woodwork. Concurrently, we seek to bring together people who appreciate the experience of choosing their very own unique pieces of customised furniture.

How we started?

The Wood Colony was started as a platform for us to share our love for customized wood slabs with like-minded individuals. As home owners ourselves, we always wanted to incorporate natural elements in our furniture choices. Also, we wanted this investment to be worthwhile by customizing certain elements of our furniture, resulting in an exclusive piece of art. We realized our options were very limited when we were shopping, and we decided to take things into hand, the rest is history.

The "Colony"

At the Wood Colony, we don’t just provide you with the best deals and service, we hope to build a colony of people who are drawn together for the love of beautifying our homes and offices with natural woodwork. Concurrently, we want to bring together people who appreciates the experience of choosing their unique piece of customized furniture.

Our Slabs

At The Wood Colony, we take pride in the superior quality of our wood slabs. We have an impressive array of wood slabs obtained from different tree types and species which come in a variety of veins, shapes, colors and sizes that you can choose from. Every slab of wood we source is well selected for the natural swirls of the wood grain itself, and are carefully treated to ensure long-lasting preservation of its distinctive qualities. Being in a tropical country ourselves, we actively seek out wood slabs that are suitable for the tropical weather, from around the world.

The black walnut is a workable hardwood that develops a lustrous patina over time, adding to its elegant feel. Its heartwood is a combination of rich dark brown with subtle tones of purple whereas the sapwood has lighter creamy straw tones creating a wonderful contrast that is aesthetically appealing. This makes it a highly sought-after choice of slab for bookmatched furniture, as it combines perfectly to create a uniform look while accentuating its unique wood grains.

Why Choose Us

We care about your health, which is why we use Belgium-imported water resistant protective coats as they are totally plant-based and completely safe to use on living space furniture rather than the chemical based lacquer coating. It also has the added benefit of giving you a feel of the grainy texture of the wood underneath that misses with chemical coating.

We enhance product longevity by using a special kiln dry method that ensures no moisture is trapped within the wood, followed by dip treatment to protect the wood against termites.
