More About This Experience
The sugar palm tree is Cambodia's designated national tree, a great symbol of pride and strength, and you often see them around Cambodia, most notably flanking the temples of Angkor Wat. You would also see its products beautifully laid out in night markets all over Cambodia with its beautiful grains and sturdy finish.
Palm wood is one of the strongest wood and together with its water resistant nature it is suitable for making small and strong tools such as cutlery, cooking utensils and other items such as cups and plates. We have designed this course for you to carve your own set consisting of a spoon and a plate . However, there are many others to choose from and you can carve anything else outside the set for an additional fee. What could be a better than to gift a loved one back home a palm tree set made by your own hands!
