ZAPATERO...Panama's least known treasure!!!


Now, by us, discovered to be one of the loveliest woods with it's deep rich chocolate colour. See special information section about Zapatero side bar link. (Working on this)
See illustrations of doors cabinets and furniture.
I love to use good quality ball bearing sliders for the drawers but even the simple sliders work very well.
This cabinet does not have sliders. A good waxing did the trick.

Linseed oil and wax finish.
For dear Paul in Boquete.

With Linseed oil finish, the room always has a sweet mysterious auroma!

Zapatero Beds








Beds built in solid zapatero and other exotic hardwoods.
We use solid tried and true joinery methods and guarantee our beds from squeaking and shaking.
Price range from $250.00 to $850.00
Call me:507-6713-7310
(Heather)
Double bed with opium legs we copied from traditional Bali design, and historical teak inlay on headboard. Does anyone remember the old huge teak tree that fell in the park couple of years back?
Bed would probably look a lot better with a mattress and bedding.
I like the way it clears the floor with a respectable distance. And the teak strips have a slight luminescence.
I love the three panel bed...they are easy to build and so can be produced for a reasonable price. Call me. 507-6713-7310
We will help you with assembly, and guaranteed to be strong and long lasting.
I think they are all beautiful...I have the art deco bed at my home in Bocas if any one wants to take a look at it.

The single beds have a free-hand engraving of the historical transom piece typical to Bocas del Toro.
Sell for $350 each when ordering a pair.

Almendro Flooring and Siding








Almendro 1x6x12 tongue and groove for flooring and siding.
Wood lot has been drying in block for 10 months. This flooring shows typical colour and grain variations.
Phone me for price.
Heather 507-6713-7310

This sample shows the colour and grain variations. It is not nailed, milled yesterday and sanded with palm sander to 100 grit. Then a brush on sealer… the colour is brilliant. With little selection, you should be able to lay down the floor with the grain patterns in mind.
Our almendro has been drying almost one year in block. After it is milled, it will shed some moisture, and is adviseable to season the flooring and siding for at least a month in a dry and well ventilated condition. It is generally agreed that almendro does not hold as much water as other hardwoods, ie. nispero, and therefore shrinkage is relatively minimal.
Almendro, along with nispero, is
resistant to insects and water damage.
