ACACIA MAGNIUM
This timber is excellent for outdoor furniture, decking and flooring. It is also good
for making cabinets, turnery, particleboard, plywood, veneer, pulp, firewood, and
charcoal. Acacia has a dark ash brown tone and is used for furniture, cabinets,
turnery, and floors. It is also suitable for veneer. Due to its rapid growth and
tolerance of very poor soils, Acacia mangium is playing an increasingly important
role in efforts to sustain a commercial supply of tree products while reducing
pressure on natural forest ecosystems.

Monkeypod. Characterized by its umbrella canopy, the tree
naturally creates an insulated, cool climate underneath its
thick, leafy branches. Moderately heavy but extremely strong,
Acacia wood is highly resistant to decay and dry-wood
termites. These characteristics make Suar wood highly
favourable in fine furniture making compared to other woods
such as Pine or Walnut. Hardiness and striking wood grains, it makes a fitting choice for sizeable ART PIECE
of table tops like conference tables and dining tables. However, it is not limited to colossal table tops as its
beautiful wood figure makes it befitting as an exquisite centerpiece in any working or living space.
