Some shops in Costa Rica sell beautiful tropical hardwood furniture in a variety of styles from rustic to elegant. Or you can show a craftsman a photo or even draw a picture to have something custom made. Even with the cost of shipping to the US or Canada, it's a good value. Those who own trees with us can use their own wood within a few years. If we don't keep planting trees, none of us ordinary folk will be able to afford solid tropical hardwood furniture like this in the future.

The same furniture factory in Ciudad Quesada made the mixed tropical hardwood dining table and six chairs below. The dark wood is bálsamo (Myroxylon balsamum), a very heavy tropical hardwood with a beautiful grain pattern, and the lighter wood is mahogany. This dining set is one of a kind, designed by Amy and the factory owner. Right now, there is only a small amount of both of these tropical hardwoods stored up, and the supply has all but stopped. That's why it's so important that we're planting them on our tree farms for the future.
