Red Oak (Quercus rubra) is a timeless, American classic used in furniture, flooring, cabinetry, joinery and architectural millwork. Red oak has a straight, coarse, and uneven grain with large pores but, unlike white oak, red oak is less resistant to rot and to insects and has a tendency to stain when in contact with water. The sapwood of Red Oak is white to very light brown, while the heartwood is reddish brown. It is heavy, hard and stiff and has high shock resistance. Red oak wood is more permeable, it is easier to treat with preservative treatments.

Azadirachta indica, commonly known as the neem tree is native to the Indian sub-continent and is related to the Mahogany tree family. The reddish-brown wood has interlocking grains and has an aesthetically appealing appearance. Its strength and durability, along with the ease of workability, are an attractive feature for this multi-purpose timber. It has moderately low stability.

This durable lumber is found in the low-lying tropical rainforests of Malaysia, Indonesia and South-East Asia. This wood has a characteristic smell and may be found in a multitude of colours including light brown, red and yellow. This wood has a high natural lustre.

Sapeli has grown to emerge as a more readily available alternative to Mahogany, specifically its appearance of a golden to dark reddish-brown wood, its grain patterns are a little zigzag. The unique interlocked grain pattern and ribbon-stripe appearance give it a dramatic and exotic look.

American Walnut is one of the scarcest and most coveted American hardwoods. It is in a class by itself. The sapwood of Walnut is nearly white, while the heartwood is light brown to dark, chocolate brown, often with a purplish cast and darker streaks. The wood is heavy, hard and stiff and with a high shock resistance. It is generally coarse-textured and produces distinctive grain patterns.

Cultivated from the Mango tree, this form of wood is increasingly becoming popular for lumber exploitation owing to its speed of growth and its similar characteristics to teak. It is also available in colours ranging from dark yellow orangish sometimes with a hint of pink.

Mahogany is a much sought-after wood, based on its hardness, resilience and beauty. The heartwoods vary from a light pink to deep reddish brown. The sapwoods tend to be paler and are usually not distinct from the heart. The grains are usually straight but interlocked. This will produce a nice ribbon stripe especially on quarter cut material. Its texture is medium to coarse. The wood resists swelling, shrinking and warping over time, making it ideal for areas prone to excessive moisture or humidity.

Merbau (Intsia Biujga) has very obvious wood variation from heartwood to sapwood, with the dark brown colour of heartwood to light golden colour of its sapwood. The texture is rather coarse, and the grain is straight to interlocked or wavy. It has a unique smell when being sawn or sanded. Merbau is reported to be very durable and resists both rotting and insect attack. It is said to be the best wood for exterior and outdoor purposes.
