Sianiq
COLLECTIONCOLLECTION
Big piece of wood in the bottom of a kayak
Information
Sianiq refers not only to the large, often waterlogged piece of wood at the bottom of a kayak, given by the inhabitants of Inukjuak (an Inuit community in the Hudson Bay), but simultaneously to ‘Inuuqatigiitsianiq’, the Inuit word used to describe the quality of relationships between persons sharing a place. With the type of wood we catalog under Sianiq, naturally modified through water and heat, we want to show our commitment to the place we all share: earth.
- Rot resistant
- Dimensionally stable
- Earth-friendly
Ash
Ash in general is quite strong and due to its higher density, it possesses excellent stiffness, hardness and good resistance to impact; properties that are only further enhanced by heat treatment. Not only is the treated American ash excellent to work with, it also has a distinctive grain, character and colour.
Poplar
Poplar is a medium-density wood that is characterized by its straight grain and a uniform texture that allows a high-quality finish on furniture, for example. The wood, especially in its preserved version, comes with excellent value for money, and excels, among other things, by excellent dimensional stability.
Red Oak
Red oak is known for its durability and aesthetic properties. The wood has a beautiful, calm figure and natural appearance. Red oak is almost knot-free, making it a popular wood species for those looking for a durable and attractive solution for both indoor and outdoor applications. One of the most common applications of red oak is decking. The reason for this lies in the higher hardness of the wood species, making it more resistant to wear, weather and other external factors. Red oak is mainly harvested in North America, where the trees are abundant.
