TYPES OF WOOD

Wood is available in many different shapes and sizes. Since wood comes from trees and there are many different species of trees it is not surprising we have such a large variety of different woods to use for building.

There are three types of wood: softwoods, hardwoods, and engineered wood. Each of these different wood types can be used in a number of different ways.

TEAK WOOD

Tectona grandis is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family lamiae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. The color of the wood is yellow in color and is known to darken with age with a very hard wood texture. It is mainly used for the manufacture of outdoor furniture and boat decks, cutting boards, indoor flooring

MANGO WOOD

Mango is a hardwood. The stunning natural grain patterns and markings can be enhanced beautifully with a variety of stains and waxes to create completely unique pieces that will last the test of time.

Unlike many other hardwoods, mango wood is relatively easy to work. This makes it an excellent choice for carpentry and furniture-making; it’s easy to shape, plane and sand while boasting great strength. The result is that a high proportion of mango wood products contain ornate designs. It is a densely grained wood, which contributes to the exotic pattern that can be found on some furniture. Like all wood furniture, you are advised to keep it dry and away from sources of heat for any prolonged amount of time.
