Also known locally as Acacia wood or the RainTree, Monkey Pod wood is thought to be named after the monkeys that used to gather below its canopy and eat the seed pods of the tree. The tree is fast growing, about 1.5m a year up to about 24m tall and has a canopy which normally reaches 30m but can grow as large as 60m. Because the Monkey Pod tree grows so quickly it makes it a very sustainable hardwood and is perfect for furniture manufacturers. The straight grain and coarse texture allows it to be relatively easily carved into interesting shapes. The trees were originally planted to offer shade for crops from the hot tropical sun.

Jackfruit Wood, also known as Jackwood, is a type of wood that is widely known in India but less familiar to many in Indonesia. The wood comes from the Jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus), which is a species of tree belonging to the Moraceae family, which also includes figs, mulberries, and breadfruits. It is termite resistant is superior for furniture building.. Jackfruit wood is widely used in the manufacture of furniture, doors and windows, in roof construction, and fish sauce barrels

Considered to be one of the strongest woods, teak (tectona grandis) is exceptionally durable dan naturally resistant to extreme weather in outdoor, rotting and warping, making it a good choice for outdoor garden furniture that will last for decades to come, even if left untreated.
