12" x 36" River Guard Saman Table Board
Material & Surface Character
The River Guard Saman Table Board is handcrafted from solid Saman wood, selected for its expressive grain, warm natural coloration, and distinctive organic character. Measuring 12 inches wide by 36 inches long with a substantial 2-inch thickness, the board has the visual presence and durability to complement a handcrafted dining or conference table.
Depending on the individual piece, the board may feature either clean straight edges or retain the natural live edge of the Saman slab. It can be crafted in solid wood or incorporate clear epoxy, allowing the natural contours, openings, and character of the wood to remain part of the design. Because every Saman slab is unique, grain patterns, coloration, knots, and natural edge formations will vary.
Structure, Form & Spatial Presence
Designed as both a functional accessory and a natural extension of handcrafted wood furniture, the River Guard is elevated on legs to create a raised protective surface above the tabletop.
Most importantly, the board can serve as a large-format trivet, providing a designated surface for serving pieces, dishes, and other items that should not be placed directly on a finished table. This is particularly valuable for handmade wood-and-resin tables: using the River Guard as a protective layer helps reduce direct exposure to heat, abrasion, scratches, and other potential damage to the table's resin finish.
Its generous 12" x 36" surface provides considerably more coverage than a conventional trivet, making it practical for serving multiple dishes while protecting the table beneath.

Craftsmanship & Custom Options
Each River Guard is individually handcrafted from Saman wood and finished to highlight the natural character of the material. At 2 inches thick, the board maintains the substantial appearance associated with slab furniture while its raised-leg construction distinguishes it from a conventional cutting or serving board.
Straight-edge and live-edge configurations may be available, as well as solid-wood or clear-epoxy designs. Natural variations in the wood ensure that no two River Guards are exactly alike.
Custom dimensions, wood selection, edge treatments, and epoxy configurations may be available upon request.
The piece shown may already be sold; however, a very similar piece can be custom-crafted upon request.
