ALBASIA

Albasia wood, also known as Sengon (latin name: Albizia Falcata), is a very light yellowish lumber, lighter than most pine species. It is a fast growing tree species that can be harvested within 3-5 years. The trees can easily grow in different climate latitude and terrain such as in the highlands and lowlands, in high rainfall areas or in areas where rainfall is low, on flat land or sloping ground, in good soil or in sandy soil.

Growing Albasia trees can help reforestation of critical land, preventing soil erosion or landslides and maintaining the reserves of soil water. Most Albasia trees are planted by local farmers due to its easy growth, thus it is very sustainable and earth friendly. Other than being sustainable, Albasia has helped as an additional income for the low income group of people in Indonesia. This has very big economic advantages for the country.

The wood character of Albasia is lightweight, straight grain, brightcolor but still very tough. It is very easy to work with, machined; moulded, turned and carved. It has a weight of only 0.24 – 0.30 after kiln drying with a moisture content of 8-12%. With high strength to weight ratio, Albasia has many uses. Some of the uses are plywood, blockboard, lumber core, door core, and other finger joint laminated products.

MERBAU Merbau or also known as Kwila or Pacific Kwila is a tropical hardwood. It is extremely durable. In fact, due to the hardness of the wood, it is difficult to manufacture without specialized machinery. The rich, natural oil in Merbau is the main feature of this timber, which makes it more durable than other timbers commonly used for outdoor furniture. It has minimal shrinkage and can withstand extremes of climate, even saltwater. Because of these unique qualities, Merbau becomes an ideal material for outdoor furniture (links to merbau furniture), and outdoor building materials for patio building, such as decking (links to decking) Merbau is a very oily timber, one of the reasons that it is successfully used in the manufacturing of outdoor furniture. The sap is the oil that occurs naturally (also known as Tannin), deep in the timber, which uniquely protects the timber from splitting and cracking. However, the furniture leaches when first exposed to rain, heavy dew and other moisture. The oil comes from excess sap, which can easily be flushed away through hosing the furniture.
