When a coffee bush stops yielding what happens to it?
Like all other bushes it is chopped down but it rarely
ends up as fire wood. The beautiful, gnarled shapes of
the branches make ideal coffee wood stands.
The rough outer bark has to be sand papered till they
have a smoother surface. Then it is polished with wood
varnish. Once the polish dries it is ready for marketing.
Coffee wood stands
are brought from Coorg in Karnataka. L Mina, who sells
these natural coffee wood stands says, " We have many
people coming for these stands. The wood remains intact
even after several years. We have small and large stands
and you  can
use them to keep speaker boxes, flowerpots and other
decorative material of your choice. Since we don't have
a showroom, our pieces do not cost much."
Small coffee wood stands cost above Rs 200 and larger
pieces cost above Rs 1500. The costs are negotiable. The
next time you think of woody décor for your home, go for
these unique coffee wood stands. They do make difference.
