Quisco™ CACTUS INLAID Furniture is hand-assembled by artisans using kiln-dried Insigne pine from the wet regions of southern Chile, each piece is then painstakingly inlaid with select pieces of Quisco™ (pronounced kees-ko) cactus wood from the dry Andean Hillsides of northern Chile's Actacama Desert. Lastly, aged metal hardware is applied. The simple grains and colors of the pine contrast with the complex colors and patterns of holes, pock-marks, and cracks in the cactus wood, which is hand polished to accentuate the natrual patterns. The result is a unique style that is an attractive complement to western, lodge, Santa Fe, desert, and rustic themes. Ruggedly designed with a solid wood structure, dowel-jointery, and metal reinforcements, Quisco™ cactus wood furniture is built to last.
 
  The cactus wood used in our furniture is pruned primarily from the Echinopsis Chilensis species of cactus - a plentiful cactus which dominates the north face of the Andean hillside of Chile's arid regions for a length of over 1,000 miles. Chile's cactus forests include specimens ranging in size from the short, single-trucked young plant to the mature tree with hundreds of branches, and which can reach over 25 feet in height and live for hundreds of years. In the mature stage of the plant's life cycle, many of its branches will be dying or in various states of decay. These naturally-dead branches are pruned away, making room for fresh, new growth. The cactus wood used to produce these pieces of fine furniture was havested without damaging the plants from which it came. The dying process of cactus wood takes many years; the exposure to the intense sun, wind, sand, and animals over this period of decay gives the cactus wood its character - fraught with holes, cracks, and diverse tones.
