thanks for the price info. I get my belian at RM105 a piece. Although i'd love to source Balau. RM20 difference a piece goes a long way when you use 30 planks...

You are most welcome, the price is after increased. Since last year alone, log price increased about 25%, direct impact to our selling price blink.gif

The size of this Chengal is upside 48, downside is 47.5 laugh.gif

Wau... Now I only notice this thread...
I like wood also, but I have no idea how to make it to furniture from a piece of raw wood.

Boss, can you share more wood's knowledge for us?
The different type of wood and the usage?

If I want to use wood on my ceiling, which type of wood I need to use?
*
Welcome biggrin.gif ya, alot of ppl like wood. I am also learning how to make new thing in my factory ! But somehow due to i need to manage the business, i has bo extra hand on this sad.gif

For ceiling, usually if you just need to cover the roof, use 1x3 with T&G is nice to look too !

boss you got hear before kekatong? trying to find out more about it haha.  biggrin.gif  I found 1ton of sawn timber at my store. dunno can use outdoor or not like cengal haha.  laugh.gif
*
Ya, I hear before, but never has chance to see it. Maybe you will need to research more with those seniors ?

QUOTE(khusyairi @ Apr 25 2018, 04:12 PM)
Actually Belian is harder & heavier than Balau. Balau about 850kg/m3 vs Belian about 1000kg/m3.
Due to the excellent resistance to bacterial, fungal, insect and marine borer attack; Belian hard to get. Cannot exported outside Msia or outside Sarawak. Still can import from Sabah for local use.
Belian got service life of up to 100 years in direct soil contact like kampung house and more than 20 years for marine work like bridge or floating house.
It's the best wood u can find in Msia.
*
Ohh , wow rclxms.gif thank you for your explanation ! Last few years, I do hear some of ppl got some wood from Sabah and Sarawak, I Guess those wood are belian. Because there say the density as strong as balau.

Thanks for your info and I have learn something new today rclxms.gif

QUOTE(y4ng @ Apr 26 2018, 11:52 AM)

*
Yes, we can process for you, 1300mm is about 4feet plus, you can use 3x3 or 4x4.

QUOTE(ar188 @ Apr 26 2018, 02:54 PM)

QUOTE(y4ng @ Apr 26 2018, 10:46 PM)

yes, belian wood is damn durable, but it is the most expensive one, it has been pretty difficult to get it already, it was being used heavily 40 years ago, my grandfather house is built by using belian wood, the house is already more than 60 years old and the wood still stay strong! this wood is so heavy that it will sink in the water!

Hi boss, can you quote for Chengal 1.5m x 0.8m how much will it be? Am planning to use it as dining table, appreciate if you can recommend me the right thickness.
*
Hi, for your table top size (31.5” wide, in 5feet of length) should be slab (with both side of skin) . We usually sold 1 pieces from log, which mean the minimum length is 16 feet and up, for your width is very common (31.5”)and the thickness is minimum 3.5”.

You will need to purchase whole slab (16feet or 18feet) if we dont spare any 5feet in store (cos usually ppl take whole slab instead of cutting it) .

For your reference , 3.5”x31.5”x18’ will cost about RM7,000 (grade b, with some small hole in random area). biggrin.gif

QUOTE(y4ng @ May 25 2018, 10:51 AM)
Hello again!

1. Can I know during Raya, what dates will you be closed?
2. You guys open during weekends for other dates?
3. What is nice to eat around your Batu Kikir? Might as well go and have a eating trip =)

Will be travelling from Klang Valley.
*
Hello !

1 : we closed on 14/6 to 18/6, open on 19/6.

2: we are half day (to 12pm) on weekend and closed on sunday and important public holiday.

3: i would suggest Bahau (8km away) or Kuala Pilah (middle of seremban road), for Bahau, you get nice white coffee and roti bakar in Nanyang Kopitiam, if you’re chinese, the hawker center near market has about 80 store to select biggrin.gif

For kuala pilah, i would suggest hailam restaurants in old road to seremban (near abandoned BP patrol station), teh c and nasi lemak very nice, lot of local chinese and malays went there during morning, closed on 12pm as i know. Or, if you’re late, you can visit Restaurant Sinaran (hainam kopitiam also) inside kuala pilah town near bus station. If you’re looking for something special food and if you’re Chinese, visit hawker center near pasar, find 1 shop selling water fish helbal noodles (labi labi), also stew beef noodles.

QUOTE(yiwee @ May 29 2018, 01:01 PM)
hi! i would like to build an outdoor fence and decking using balau resak or chengal. whats the price difference like?

for fence, it probably be 1x3 (or 4?) x4 feet.
is 3 or 4 inch wide better?

for decking, itll probably be 1x3 x 8-10 feet.

thanks for your advise and opinion. (and quote)
*
Hi, morning smile.gif

For fence, 1x3 is suitable for smaller house, and shorter fence (like 2.5 to 3 feet) , 1x4 look more nice if your house or door is wide and large.

Decking using 1x3 is nicer and cheaper.

For pricing, depend on length and size, chengal is about 40% to 60% more expensive than Balau. thumbup.gif

how much approximately? Just trying to see if worth doing it or not smile.gif
(For 1" x 4" x 4 feet)
(and also for my decking at 1" x 3" x 8-10 feet)

You have resak?
*
Hi, good day smile.gif

For 1x4 x4feet, it is RM5/pcs include planing. It is Balau (yellow balau, same family with resak)

Usually, most ppl say resak actually mean balau (some call resak, some call balau)

Actually the “real Resak” are Balau Hitam, slightly darker than Balau, harder than Balau thus most easy to crack in the end, also, fresh cut Resak has slight oily gum in cutting surface.
