Decking, Fences & Trellis : Mahogany

Description
Mahogany is a commercially important lumber prized for its beauty, durability, and color, and used
for paneling and to make furniture, boats, musical instruments and other items.
Mahogany has a straight, fine, and even grain, and is relatively free of voids and pockets. Its reddish-brown color
darkens over time, and displays a reddish sheen when polished. It has excellent workability, and is very durable.
Historically, the tree’s girth allowed for wide boards from traditional mahogany species. These properties make it a
favorable wood for crafting cabinets and furniture.
Mahogany also resists wood rot, making it attractive in boat construction and outdoor decking. It is
a tonewood, often used for musical instruments, particularly the backs, sides and necks of acoustic guitars, electric
guitar bodies, and drum shells because of its ability to produce a very deep, warm tone compared to other
commonly used woods, such as maple or birch.

BALAU WOOD
Application Details:
Marine Builder Outdoor Decking Door Frame Lorry body
The Standard Malaysian Name for the heavy, yellow to brown timbers of the genus Shorea
(Dipterocarpaceae). Vernacular names applied include balau (Peninsular Malaysia) with various
epithets, selangan batu No. 1 (Sabah), and selangan batu (Sabah and Sarawak). Major species include
S. atrinervosa, S. foxworthyi, S. glauca, S. laevis, S. materialis, S. maxwelliana, S. submontana and S.
sumatrana. Balau are very common throughout Malaysia and being large hardwoods growing within a
range of 30 to 60 metres high. The timber is a Heavy Hardwood with a density of 850-1,155 kg/m3 air
dry.
Appearance
The timber is dense but contains little silica and is therefore relatively easy to work although some
adjustment to saws and machine knives may be required on long runs if a good surface finish is
required. The timber of all species are very similar with the heartwood yellow brown, reddish brown
and sometimes purplish brown and will darken with age. The sapwood is lighter in colour and is
sharply defined from the heartwood, which is yellow or grey-brown and darkens to deep brown on
exposure. The texture is fine to medium and even with the grain wavy and interlocked. Shrinkage
rates are medium to low and all species are considered to be lyctid borer susceptible.
Balau has been widely used for all forms of heavy construction, marine construction, ship and boat
building (keels, keelsons and framework), piling, beams, columns (heavy duty), bridges, wharves,
cooling tower (structural member), railway sleepers, vehicle bodies (framework and floor boards),
boat building, plywood, joinery, cabinet making, mallets, fender supports, door and window frames,
staircase (carriage, newel and stringer), pallets (heavy and permanent type), tool handles (impact),
telegraphic and power transmission posts and cross arms, posts, joists, rafters, flooring (heavy
traffic), decking and heavy duty furniture.
