Wood Works












Hardwood trees have broad leaves, produce a fruit or nut,
and generally go dormant in winter. They get their name
because they have fibre which acts as structural reinforcement.

Softwood trees are conifers or trees that bear cones.
Examples of softwoods are pine, spruce, cedar and fir.

Besides Teak, these are other popular woods used in
furniture production:
  • Walnut


  • Hard Maple


  • White Oak


  • Nyatoh


  • Ramin

Different wood will give you different result,
thus selecting the right wood to go with your
preferred design is vital at the beginning.
