A quick update for today… a selection of hand carved, detailed and painted Balinese Doors made from Bunut (ficus) wood.
Bunut wood is not what you’d call a hard wood and it’s not appropriate for exterior or load bearing doorways… it’s more a decorative or interior accent piece.
That said, we’ve shipped plenty of these to Europe and the US over the past few years but never gone so far as to work them into our production catalogue… our apologies; it’s a nice line.

Balinese Doors
Enjoy,

We’ve just uploaded 45 new models to our Musical Instruments category…
…in case you’ve forgotten, the line includes one or two pairs of Maracas (I’m not entirely sure why we’re making these in Bali but who am I to stand in the way of progress), Drums, Rainsticks, Didgeridoos and now some small, almost sitar-like instruments.
The new models are at the beginning of the category and are all coded DRM:

We’ve just added 16 new models of lamp to our range of Lampshades…

You can see the additions by clicking here (all the new models are at the beginning of the category and all are coded LDM…):

Note: like all of our lamps and electrical lighting, these models do not include the electrical hardware and cabling — however, we can provide certified hardware for your country and install it here before shipping. Drop us a line to let us know what you need and we’ll confirm back with pricing and details.
Also, on the very slim chance you’d forgotten, we have a pretty large selection of lamps, candleholders and related lighting accessories, here’s a list of categories containing similar products:

It’s been a while since we’ve added any products to our coconut line up… which is a shame if you consider how very useful the coconut tree and fruit has been in this part of the world.
It’s also been a while since we’ve added any new models to our accessories lines.
Coconut is a also an easy to obtain, fairly inexpensive yet very eco-friendly, sustainable resource.
So, finally, I get to talk about killing not one, not two but three birds with the same stone.
Check out the new line here:
Coconut Tile Bags
And, once you’re done with those, don’t forget to have a browse through our other Coconut-related categories.
Enjoy,
Sean

We’ve refreshed our line of Retail Display Accessories.
About half the models are basically as before but with slight changes
on sizes — we’ve also got a few new entries we hope you’ll like.
To avoid any confusion, we’ve taken the old range offline completely.
All of our Retail Display models are made from Pine Wood.
And, as with many of our products, we’re happy to do work with your
custom designs.
You’ll find the updated line in the usual place:

Nothing too earth shattering here — a simple, colorful, easy addition to our home decor styles: hand painted, MDF wall plaques with Aquarium motifs.
We don’t carry a huge amount of MDF based product (you’ll find it used in some of our mirror frames) but it’s certainly handy.
According to WiseGeek:
“Medium density fiberboard, or MDF, is a composite wood product similar to particleboard. It’s made out of wood waste fibers glued together with resin, heat, and pressure. MDF is appropriate for many applications, from cabinetry to moulding, because it is smooth, uniform, and won’t warp.”

Wall Aquarium

Purely decorative but fun stuff.

Simply put: a storyboard is a wooden carving designed to hang on the wall like a painting.
You might call it a wooden relief or 3D Wood Wall hanging or plaque.
In its most traditional form, a story board captures a scene of every day Balinese life or one segment of a Balinese (Hindu) myth.
These scenes tend to be extremely complex and intricate although you’ll also find more simple images of birds in trees or Rama & Sita by themselves.
Unlike paintings, storyboards are really three dimensional (3D) as you can see from the examples at either side.
The first storyboards I saw were almost exclusively Balinese scenes but these days, you might find anything… from Naturalist depictions of animals and sealife to, more recently, reworkings of classical themes like Davinci’s The Last Supper and famous scenes and buildings in Europe.
If you have a particular scene you’d like to see as a storyboard, don’t be afraid to contact us — we’re happy to work samples.
Most of our story boards are hand carved from Kepelan Wood (although you will find some pieces in Suar and Jackfruit Wood) — it took me a while to track down the Western name (mainly because I was spelling kepelan wrong at the time) but it turns out to be Magnolia wood or Manglietia Glauca.
Click here to see the updated product line — model numbers above SBD-030 are all new.
We found the storyboards a little more intricate and involved than many of our other wood carvings, so we’ve added an extra link to see more images of each piece — we hope you’ll enjoy the added detail.

I’m probably way off base calling this line “rococo” but, like the French style of the 18th Century, it’s elegant, ornate and ornamental.
The category comprises wooden corbels (shown in the photo) which can be used decoratively on their own or mounted as pairs for shelving; medallions mounted on bases for display and mirror frames.
Wood types are a combination of Durian and Wani.
Enjoy the whole range by going to:

Another update that’s been a long while coming — Potted or Arranged Flowers.
In most instances, we already sell or can supply the component pieces for these displays but, for most clients, it’s just a little too like hardwork going through a container load of coconut wood flower heads, twisted stems, pandan and so on and putting it all in pots or glassware to make it look pretty.

All the new models are at the beginning of the category (FWA-50 through FWA-90).
And, as always, don’t forget our other related categories:

There was a time when wrought iron lanterns competed with suar and pine wood among Indonesia Export’s Best Selling Handicrafts…
…over the past 2-3 years, however, there has been a steady decline in interest — partly because of rising prices in materials but mainly (I would say) because everyone was bored with the old motifs, models and designs…
…long story short: what goes around, comes around — they’re back with a new mix of materials, colors and motifs — check them out:
Resin Lanterns & Shades
And, after you’ve looked through the new line, it may be worth your while to go back and look at the previous models:

A quick update for our Bird Cages — do I hear anyone saying, “About time!” ?
Some painted examples to spruce up the line:
Painted Bali Bird Cages
A few years ago, we made one of these cages big enough to comfortably fit two people inside and, no, I don’t know why they wanted a cage that big (I didn’t ask) but as far as Bird Cage makers in Bali are concerned, these cages are fine for real birds (very popular pet around here) but we would caution you that the bars are little too weak for anything more than a small bird — medium to large birds will probably tear open the rattan bars fairly quickly.
Long story short: we guarantee our products but cannot help if your expensive, tropical bird makes a break for freedom from one of our cages.
Recently, Bird Cages like these have been appearing retro-fitted as hanging lampshades or with wooden birds already inside (or both).
A very cute (and dare I say, saleable) re-interpretation of the old classic… something to think about.
Other Bird Related Categories on Indonesia Export include:
- Bamboo Bird Houses
- Bamboo Windchimes
- Birds
- Birds on the Branch
- East-West — Miscellaneous
- Parasite Wood Carvings
And, if you just search birds from the Indonesia Export navigation bar, you’ll find motifs, paint jobs and models in many more categories.
Enjoy,
Sean

Ceramic Incense, Oil & Spice Dishes
[Note: If you’re already registered, please click here to logon before going any further. If not, registration, is quick, free, safe & easy — please click here to register now.]
We’ve always liked the dark green, organic (bananaleaf style) finish on Bali ceramics but the new styles (Buddha Head & Mask in particular) are very welcome addition.s
That said, as usual, please don’t forget the other incense and burner related categories:
Enjoy,
