    Story Behind the Art:
    Khun Pen speaks of her art: 'Making lotus panels from recycled teak has been done for generations in my family. Originally my elders made the panels as window screen guards to keep out snakes and small animals as many people had no glass. The designs were drawn from ancient memory and depict mainly the lotus bud or flower which is a sign of purity in the Buddhist sense. We only use recycled wood planks from old structures that are being replaced with more modern construction. All work is done in a communal setting as there are many stages done by hand. This is not a regular job as we have to tend the fields also. It is a way to do something together and make extra currency.'

  • Great Product,

    Great product and corret selection. it really matched the room in which in installed it as a false ceiling. i had purchased 2 and it looks like an ancient temple ceiling.

    • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
    • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality was ok. out piece had a slight crack. but it is ok as i installed the piece as a wall piece
    • How accurate was the sizing? 8 out of 10
  • Pretty cool

    Very interesting carving. A bit of effort to hang, but looks as expected.

    • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
    • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Purposefully imperfect
    • How accurate was the sizing? Exact
  • I love this.

    I love this. I actually was in Thailand and wanted to buy one of these, but the shipping was too expensive. If you are looking for a flawless product, this is not it. You can definitely tell someone carved this by hand. All of the nooks and crannys aren't sanded down perfectly, and a portion of one of our panels has a bit of unperfect staining BUT this is what I love about it. That it is imperfect and looks hand carved and stained. It is beautiful! We have it in our dining room. There is a similar one I saw at Z Gallery, but it was twice as expensive. It was done perfectly, but that makes me think a machine carved it and not a person. It looked too cookie cutter perfect, so I really appreciate this one. it looks exactly like ones I saw people carving inThailand. I gave it 4 stars because it was a pain to hang. We put different hangers on each panel. It is always difficult to hang 4 pieces right next to oneanother perfectly.

    • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes, although it is not an even stain
    • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
    • How accurate was the sizing? perfect.
  • good

    the panel is very nice and carved well, I will enjoy looking at it. good value.

    • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
    • How accurate was the sizing? it is acurate
  • A great wall piece

    This is actually four different panels, arriving in a fairly small box. The strange thing is that it seems that the four panels might have been made at separate times, with slightly different coloring and craftsmanship, but they fit together as one piece. The hanging of them involves two hangers for each panel, a total of 8 holes drilled, and if you don't drill the holes precisely then it doesn't hang right. But the hanging of it, as precise as it needs to be, is worth the result, which is something very unique. It almost looks like a heavy cloth piece from a distance. People have loved it when they've seen it, and the wood adds an earthiness to any room. The wood is heavy and the work and wax finish of high quality.

    • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
    • Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent quality, though rustic as planned
    • How accurate was the sizing? accurate

it appears that the edges do not line up from board to board is this just a bad representation of this product are they all off by that much? on the other hand the inner portion of the design seem to match perfectly. I realize that this is hand made and there are imperfections but edges dont even look close do you have any more pictures of this item ? greenman1 on Feb 25, 2012
Answer This Question

The edges do not match at all on any of the panels and the inner design may not match up “perfectly” also on some pieces and the design between two panels will vary. These are made from reclaimed old teak wood from the side of community houses that are 50+ years old. Back then they did not have machines to cut squared up wood like you have at lumber mills in the USA. The wood is hand hewn and between the four panels each will vary in thickness, is not perfectly flat, and is not a perfect rectangle. We do not even attempt to make them that way. We do not guarantee they will match up, but they are close, and when you choose to line up the design as close as possible the outside may not line up correctly or the design may be off slightly as panels may be slightly longer or shorter then each other in a set of four. The color of the wood varies even between each of the four panels and for every set. There is slight carving marks and sometimes the carver “misses a spot” and sometimes a small piece chips off. They see the beauty in each piece not in making them all perfectly alike. overstockcustomercare1 on Mar 1, 2012
