Photographs: Maruhon's Showrooms |
|
In December of 2006, Maruhon
opened a brand new showroom in the main offices in Hamamatsu. The
new showroom features an updated conference room, a species library, racks
of samples for hands-on study and new open look. Guests enter
what we've nicknamed "The Black Hole," a stark space featuring a
large Sapelli flitch, and 700 slides taken during Maruhon's travels around
the world. |

| While racks of samples (above) are available
for customers to handle, the reference library features both commercial
and exotic woods from around the world. We're seeking additional
samples to complete the collection. We're attempting to show all the
features of each species, so, for example, we have samples of White Oak
that are all heart, a mix of heart and sapwood, clear, and knotty.
If you can contribute reference samples to the library, they would be much
appreciated. |
