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.

ACACIA RAINTREE
Acacia/Raintree wood tree is also known as Albizia Saman or
Monkeypod. Characterized by its umbrella canopy, the tree
naturally creates an insulated, cool climate underneath its
thick, leafy branches. Moderately heavy but extremely strong,

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.

BIRCH
Birch plywood is a popular material for furniture, and the consumer
trend appears to reflect a growing interest in natural elements and
wood in interior design. The edge of the plywood can also be left

a renewable raw material, binds carbon dioxide throughout the product’s life cycle.
