About Lesung Furniture Lesung is a Javanese word and it is called mortar in English. It is used for pounding rice for most of villagers in Java in years ago. It is made of whole hard wood that was shaped like a boat by carving it, so the beauty of it will be seen naturally. That Ãs what we do in our business, all furniture are handcrafted and it is performed by a skilled artisan and that Ãs why there is no two items are exactly alike. We produce them by using old fine teak wood
