This Ants wood slab doesn’t lie: the tree it came from is infested with carpenter ants! These builders cause quite a mess. They are also known as wood-eating ants. They burrow into the wood, create galleries, and build their nests there. To find them, watch for piles of particles. Ants love both garden trees and structural elements in buildings. In short, they are a parasite that should not be underestimated! That said, isn’t the work of ants fascinating? By looking closely at this Ants wood sab, you’ll see an entire micro-architecture developing within the wood. A world of galleries, hiding spots, and secret passages on a macroscopic scale. Beyond the bark, rings, and knots, it tells another aspect of the life of trees.

Wall slabs are the result of special attention and deep respect for the solid wood that passes through our hands. At MATPEL Ecological Cabinetmaking, artisans make sure to find, preserve, and reveal exceptional pieces hidden in even the smallest scraps and planks of wood. The Wall slabs and Furniture collection consists of a series of unique pieces, all made exclusively from local wood species. Each element is carefully crafted by hand with respect. Additionally, the finish applied contains low VOCs. It preserves the natural appearance of the wood while highlighting the richness of its details. The mounting or fastening systems are pre-installed and thoughtfully designed. All that’s left to do is hang the pieces on your wall!
