Not cut from one log —
on purpose.
A Ø1300 top from a single slab would cup and split within a season. Maru is panel-built from solid white oak boards with the grain running in opposing directions, so the circle stays a circle through decades of heating and humidity.
Solid, not veneer. White oak at 1,350 lbf Janka, kiln-dried and sealed at 9–10% moisture before a single cut is made.
