Wood Selection
Selecting wood and species is crucial when designing. We invite you to view and revise best known uses for each one. Selection is mainly defined by appearance, strength, stability, resistance to humidity and resistance to termites.
Most of these wood species are imported from different countries therefore availability may be scarce on some. For this and other factors it is wise to plan your wood project ahead of time.
Other species are natives to our local market and widely available..
