Bamileke Tables

seancoetzee — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:02:22 +0000

One of Woodsmoke’s most popular products is called a Bamileke Table / Stool and is mainly used as a home furnishing piece as a coffee table. The stools have been hand made in Cameroon by the Bamileke tribe who are famous for their exceptional woodcarving skills. They make each of the stools from a single piece of wood. The midsection takes the most skill; this is where the wood has been carved into a lacework decoration. In Cameroon, they are called Kings Stools because the most intricate stools are uses as seats for tribal chiefs.

We have three beautiful Bamileke Coffee Tables that we just got in stock from Cameroon. Each of them is hand carved out of one piece of wood! These tables are very hard to find and we have 3 of the largest sizes you can get. They are all 40 inches wide and 18 inches tall. I have a white, brown, and black one in stock.

They will be sold extremely quickly so please let me know if you are interested. We have them in South Africa and will shipping them over to you from here. Prices are as follows:

White Stool: $1,900 + $300 shipping
Brown Stool: $1,800 + $300 shipping
Black Stool: $1,800 + $300 shipping

Delivery Time: 3 weeks

The First South Africans To Braai

Last night we braaied for our South African heritage, culture and traditions with a group of South Africans in DC. We were officially the first South Africans to celebrate Heritage Day and cooked up some awesome boerewors.

Project Isuga

seancoetzee — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 19:10:22 +0000

Project Isuga exists to support, educate, and bring happiness to a lost generation of children in South Africa whose parents have died from aids. There are millions of children who have lost their parents to aids in South Africa, this generation will be lost forever unless we step in and support them.

Project Isuga does this by selling beautiful handmade scarves. For every scarf that is purchased, Project Isuga donates one school lunch to one aids orphan in South Africa.

We believe that business can be used to solve many problems in the world because of the sustainable model it creates. A business that incorporates giving into what it does can truly change the world. We aim to do this through Project Isuga.

Chisa Nyama on September 24

seancoetzee — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:03:57 +0000

Chisa Nyama is the Zulu word to braai (bbq). On September 24 South African will be braaiing across the world to celebrate the great culture of South Africa. No matter race, color, social situation, we will all be joining tongs and braaiing to celebrate the culture of South Africa.

If you plan to invite friends round for a braai on Heritage Day (Friday, September 24, but Saturday will also do, or both), send us your address by filling in the form here, and we’ll send you an apron like the one our colleague Vuyo Vezi is modelling on the right.

Chisa Nyama was inspired by Jan Scannell at braai4heritage.co.za and his patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who explains it all in this video:
