The link first says the wood is made with natural products and no plastics or petroleum. Later is states that resin and catalyst are infused under pressure. I am confused as to what this product is.

From the site:

Quote:
Once the second drying process is complete, the wood is placed in the pressure vessel for the second impregnation stage. An organic resin, derivated from agricultural waste, is introduced. The vessel’s positive pressure allows the resin to penetrate the wood completely.


Given that this is being done in China, there's no telling what constitutes 'agricultural waste'.

Considering that someone in china made and sold fake eggs nothing would surprise me.

Over-sensitized conspiracy theorizing imo.

This material is probably exactly the same stuff as the Rocklite ebony substitute I mentioned on a previous thread.

Except it's much cheaper to buy.
