Another idea using 3.5x3.5 x7feet

PM Received & Replied. Ya, Aluminium now a day really expensive. Although wood aren't cheap too.

You can use 0.5x2 or 1x3, quite nice also .

Ohh, we dont sell such wood , as this wide is for bigger project, usually min length is 16 feet up. You can join it by using few pieces of 1x3 or 1x4.

something like this, but you can also not to join.






Is the glue last longer ?

2cm is just nice, this is the common size we cut. ⅞" , nearly full 1".

Hi, ya, the chances to bend is high if the thickness are so thin, especially Balau.

It can be avoided by cutting it from a really big log or air dried for a period.

Nope mate, usually it wont bengkok if you air dried it properly. Bengkok only happen when extreme heat and not properly air dried.

Quite tight actually, but if you pull it out still will loose.

You will need 1 pieces of 3 feet then cut it to join together.

Sorry for late visit, my office internet line just become normal after repairing


How strong of this ?

Here is some very nice idea from MGM Macau , the size and length used is very affordable.

I c , thanks for your information.

I am cutting Balau only currently

Yaaa , no more chengal log ccurrently. i assume, after GE will have more log

Thank you forumer ! Although i don't know what is your LYN ID, thanks for coming and pick the wood you like !

I am sorry for being hurt your finger during flipping the 3x12 slices. Hope your finger is okay now !


Mr. Soo, came from Kuala Lumpur visit my factory yesterday to grab 2 pieces of Grade B 3x12x6ft for his sweet home gardening I provided some discount for him to comprehensive for my careless to hurt his finger

That is Balau

we started process Chengel next week

For Chengal, it seldom has B Grade wide table like balau, however, i do have many pieces of grade A (included skin in both left and right) Chengal table top. thick is 3 or 4 inches X 45 inches above, 16 feet, 18 feet, and 20 feet.

ok for you ?

Hahaha, no worry laa.... when you spend money, the money will come back on next with extra interest

We are actually cutting some big log and take the middle few pieces for table top, the size is vary to each log, so we have plenty for you to choose, depend on your preference

Ya, you can come to my factory and choose. The only thing is, it is all raw sawn, you will need a skilled carpenter to make it polished.

As per requested, i have take some photo of the slices here :

Haha, there has many name i still never hear before, my apologize for my swallow knowledge on wood.

But i do know Belian, my customer told me before for this species, it actually same as hard as Balau, but lighter. It is a very good feedback wood.

Welcome, my friend. Wood aren't that expensive actually if you can use those short length in smarter way no worry.

The upside picture was Balau, while the below (white house) is Chengal.

Sure, but only on Monday. The slices is under few bundle of other wood, need to move out for better picture taking.

You can see my last post picture, the 5th picture got "48" and "50", that is 48inches and 50inches wide.

Sure can, the price will be very attractive too. Come here and choose 1, it will last many many years

I see ya, you are right, now a day very hard to find skilled carpenter. But my customer told me Indonesia has alot of carpenter, especially in northern. They can make something really stunning.

Hi, you can send me your total quantity and size, will get you the best quote

Hi, fot such wide, Balau will be cracked if the thickness only 2-3cm. You will need at least 2.5" to 3"

I c, for 1x8x12 included S4S planning is RM84 /pcs. For 2x8 , it is RM 185.35 /pcs.

Ya, sometime it will be cracked it self, since those log aren't stable after cutting. Few weeks or more later will be lot stable.
