hi all, awesome thread for some wood type knowledge!

Guys, sorry hijack abit newbie here dunno much about wood.
Can someone briefly explain/rate the type of superior wood we have in Msia?

From reading the forum:- best wood = belian which a forumer said can no longer find

So in ascending order

1. Belian
2. Balau/Selangan Batu
3. ?
4. ?

What about Cengal/Merbau/Nyatoh? Have not heard anyone mention teak wood?

How is our wood comparable with red oak/white oak/black walnut/maple from Western countries

Hope some wood experts can give some knowledge hehe
