About The Owner

In December 2015, Jacques made a strategic shift from his full-time career in the agricultural co-operative sector to immerse himself in his passion for crafting unique wood furniture from natural, live-edge slabs. Confronting the challenge of wood cutting, he invested in a Lucas Mill portable sawmill, allowing him to meticulously shape slabs up to 1500mm wide and planks. The allure of large, solid live slabs planted a seed for Jacques to dream bigger. This vision materialized when he acquired the first and only Lucas Mill Super Slabber in Africa, capable of cutting impressive slabs up to 2700mm wide. This transformative tool marked the evolution of wood into functional art, resulting in the creation of extraordinary custom-made furniture.

Since our recent move to Hoedspruit, one of our most exciting finds has been the Oldroot showroom. Filled with exquisite pieces of furniture produced from ethically sourced African hardwood, it is like visiting an art gallery. Each piece is lovingly crafted to reflect the character of the tree from which it was wrought, whether it be emphasizing beautiful grain, preserving a live edge on a perfectly finished board or adapting the shape of the piece of wood to create a unique piece of furniture. Add to this staff who are friendly, helpful, and always responsive to the client’s needs and you have a winning combination. We treasure the pieces we have purchased from Jacques and his team and thank them for the extra touch of beauty they have added to our lives.
