spring has sprung!

During the Springtime everything blooms and grows and, as spring is now very much in the air, things are starting to bloom and grow at ajb interiors too!

We have lots of lovely new stock in the shop! 

We are very excited about it and hope that our customers will be too.

Along with the usual quality furniture and home accessories we have also decided to introduce some garden accessorise into the shop. Just in time for an outdoor spring clean!

We have also started to sell online, through ebay. Eventually we hope to expand on this and create our very own online shop and catalogue but until then we will be offering a selection of our furniture and accessories through the popular online auction website.

environmentally friendly mango wood

In the shop we are selling an increasing number of unusual mango wood accessories so, we thought we'd tell you what we know about this surprising wood.

As the name would suggest, mango wood comes from the same tree as the popular tropical fruit and is harvested on mango plantations throughout South East Asia. The wood can be found in various colours and has a coarse, interlocking grain which makes it is easy to carve, paint, polish or treat. This enables beautiful, unusual and interesting pieces to be crafted.

Not only is mango wood beautiful and versatile it is also a sustainable source of wood making it very eco-friendly. Even better!

Sustainable mango wood

Mango trees are huge trees grown mainly for their fruit and are constantly being replenished. The trees can grow up to 100 feet in height and between 3 and 5 feet in diameter. 

Once a tree reaches it's full size it will stop producing fruit and farmers will then cut down the trees to make room for a new harvest of young mango trees. The older trees are then sold and used for making wood products just like the ones we sell in the shop.

Mango wood has also proved itself as an attractive alternative to other woods that grow in much more fragile forests such as teak and mahogany. 

So, next time you're in the shop, keep your eyes open for our beautiful and sustainable mango wood products.
