Room furniture and paper can do all devices.

the physical properties of wood: air-dry density of about 0.80-0.86g/cm3, wood with a gloss,easy indian recipes, no special smell and taste, texture oblique to the staggered structure thin and uniform. Timber weight, high strength. Few termites. structural characteristics of the wood

: diffuse porous wood. Obvious difference between heartwood and sapwood, yellowish brown to reddish-brown heartwood, sapwood white to pale yellow white. Growth rings indistinct. Pores under a magnifying glass clear, slightly smaller to medium alone, and a few short tracks out complex pores (24), the pore often with dark sediment, loose. Axial parenchyma under a magnifying glass clear, the main pipe for the waterfront, wing shape, wing-shaped and round circles poly shape. Wood-ray non-overlapping Health, under a magnifying glass clear, medium to slightly dense,south indian cooking, and even fine to just fine. Grain straight, often staggered, fine structure, uniform shrinkage of the great, good nail holding power, dry and slightly faster, easy to crack, warp. Evaluation pear better than Myanmar.

Recently, the raw material exporting country itself, protection of natural resources under international community pressure, limiting logging and exports.

The introduction of export policy, has undoubtedly become more scarce wood Jingui.

the kind of wood as early as the early Republic of China have used classical furniture with it has been five or six years old. More important is the pear and Brazilian rosewood some properties similar to, but the price is relatively low, naturally became the new darling of some white-collar workers, those who favor more and more.
