nice! can do S4s already!

settle nyatoh orders first next week haha
do you have nyatoh also?

boss you got hear before kekatong? trying to find out more about it haha. I found 1ton of sawn timber at my store. dunno can use outdoor or not like cengal haha.

interesting use. you gonna DIY the floor patio?

oic, interesting layout.

wow nice house!

are you still sawing chengal? next week can drop by to visit if u free.. gotta do shopping for stocks.

wah 5feet long grade b slab so mahal 7k ah?

i think cheaper to joint the wood (using your grade b 2x4) use 8pcs

how much for 1piece of 2x4 (5feet) chengal?

make like this, sure nice.

oic. haha..

so if 4inch x 32inch x 18feet long is 7k

not count tan price ah? this size around 1/3 tan. should be cheap cheap ma.

fuyoh, nice!

how much was the labour/carpentry cost?

no such thing as best wood.
i got a pile of belian/chengal/local mahogany in my store. so far i didnt have any mood to even make indoor projects using it. the colors are dark brown/ dull.
but u know what, i still use white oak for my projects. cos you can cut and machine it properly and plenty of finishing options. for me, i prefer those. yesterday, just finish a Hard maple butcher block, superb grain pattern. although started woodworking using nyatoh, begining to move away from it also. local sawmill quality control, not so good. even its KD schedule is unknown whether properly done or not.

for outdoor, the local woods would be a good option since its suitable for our climate. can use balau (yellow or red) as promoted by threadstarter. use them to make fencing/pergola/awning etc.

today making white oak 2inch table top



and some walnut and cherry 1inch boards just came in this week. thinking of what to make out of it.

most of my stock is white oak for now. lengths are 8-10feet for the 1inch boards. for 2inches. its around 10-14feet.

as for walnut and cherry and maple, we dont keep much, but its enough to make a dining table top. but may reserve it for smaller projects. (like end grain chess set, butcher block kitchen island etc)
