PACIFIC MERCHANTS ACACIAWARE

My favorite entertaining pieces are my whiteware and all my wood ware.  They mix beautifully.  What’s on the table or buffet and how it’s presented is as important as the quality and taste of what you’re serving.  Well thought out platters, trays, bowls and utensils can make an extraordinary presentation.  Pacific Merchants creates beautiful serving pieces that are legally harvested from privately owned lands, and are a fast growing,non-endangered acacia wood species.
