I have a couple of pieces that appear to be Dutch Colonial antiques from Sri Lanka made from Jackfruit and ebony.
Basically rescuing from the landfill, from an estate. I literally pulled these out of a dumpster.
The chest I did some repair, may add feet or a base. It is made from six boards, the top board is 19" wide. I might be able to find a home for this, but it's big.
The other is a large armoire cabinet, over 6' tall. The sides, back, & doors & top all fit together with short tenons- assembles with no fasteners.
It's pretty intact, but there is no market for a piece like this. I'm thinking of taking it apart for the wood, & maybe cutting down the base to make base for the chest. The big turned feet could be offered as turning blanks.
The last pic shows surfaced planks that may have been shelves.
Sorry about the bad pics.
Thoughts?
