Hi all, if you are looking solid wood to make a part of your house renovation work, or a part of your yard, garden, or even living room, you will need to have a look for below.

I'm from a sawmill, and our timber business was established since 1988, and expanding our business to home user now.


(*to mod, i am not making an advertisement here, as i'm just trying to share some idea of my house by using the timber from my factory to all user here. But, if any of mod discovered that my topic has offended any rules out here, i will be very happy to remove this topic. Thank you.)


I believe many people love wood, because wood can be the closest relationship to mother nature if we use it right. Sometimes , just a simple peace of wood can make your living room feel warm and welcome. But because the tree is getting less, some of you may though the wood is pricey, and premium. Actually, it don't really expensive if you purchase directly from factory. Also, you can use B-Grade wood, it look natural and cost saving.


Few years ago, i am starting using rejected wood (B-Grade) as decoration in my house, you can see those picture below. We can share some idea, too.


This is my tea-pot rack, by using B-Grade 2x4, a lot of natural hole in the wood, it then turn colour to brown after time. Did you know how much it cost here ? Per wood is only RM12.50 (for 10 feet length) , picture shown are 8 feet (RM9.00), 7 feet (RM7.50), and 6 feet (RM6.50).



you will need only Wall-plug nail. Drill a hole in wood, depend on your load preference, usually needed only few nail, and "slot" in the wall-plug nail, voila, you have just make a nice rack.

This rack is using 4 feet 2x4 B-Grade wood, cost only RM3.00 per wood.


Close-look for hole in wood.




I am using steel fence before i make over all fencing to wood. Picture below shown are using 1x3x3ft wood (RM2.80 per pcs), as you can see, after 5 years, i am not even maintaining it, and it is all directly from bandsaw, without any touch-up (planning & paint) , it still stand.

To make it look better, i then nail some 1x4 (RM1.80/pcs) to make a flower-pot.




Here's the self-made letter-box, which only cost very few ringgit to make it. few pcs of 1x4x2ft (RM1.80/pcs) , and 1pcs of 4x4x5ft (RM58.60/pcs).



You may not like the original wood look without painting like my fence above, if you wish to make it more clean and smooth by painting it, you can refer the fencing of my other house below, this 1 using 1x4 , for just (RM3.70/pcs), the whole fencing cost about RM260 (for 30ft length).




There are many table-top-sized wood in my factory, which actually hole and crack, so we rated it the B-Grade wood, and it can't sell to our customer since the usage propose aren't same. The size of such table-top wood usually 3"x12", 3"x14", 3"x16", or 4"x16". Original proposed for this size are making bridge, fishing boat, or other heavy duty use, some how, some logs aren't perfect, it has some hole, so, i then use it to make tea table for guest welcoming in my 2nd living room.

There have different size thus has different price. As your reference, like picture below, i am using 3"x12"x18ft , the table-top alone cost (RM315.00/pcs) , and then, i using the same species of log as support, the log size is 12x12x10ft (RM270/pcs) , and cutting it to 3pcs to support whole table.

The table-top surface has paper sanded to smooth, and with those hole and crack, it look unique. I has seen the same type of table selling at antique shop for more than RM12'000 !!!

But i am only make it for less than RM800.00 for this table, included labor to make it. (wood alone total = RM585 only)






I am looking forward to build more wood-work and share here Thank you for viewing.

Wow ! I am very surprised to see 5 replied just after few mins of this post, i would like to say thank you to all


Hi, thank you, this is just a very rough work. I am very happy to see you like it !

Yeah, thank you ! There has no minimum order at all ! You can come for even 1 pcs of wood, i am very happy to see you here and we can share idea for each other ! The contact are the same inside FB and my website.

You can arrange yourself a transport for such size if you have hilux (long base) , or, the fees is about RM300-400 depend on the driver, we can arrange that for you.

3" x 48" is really wide, currently we dont have ready log to cut this yet, as rainy season now.

Yes, we can arrange 3rd party transport for you with minimal charges.

Yeah, agreed with you, you know wood so well eh?

We currently process Chengal and Balau mainly, and we do process Meranti and Merbau if we got order again from Maldives, depend on season and order.

Balau & Chengal is our main production.

Haha, unfortunately, i am not a very good designer, just a simple person that like to use wood decorating my house

No problem, come here when you free.

No problem, come here when you free.

Sure, already pm you !

Hi, for some, the hole is small, my customer cut a glass to put it on top

Ohh, my bad. Sorry ya, yes, 2ft is only 24 inches. For 24 inches, we have ready log for cut, only for b-grade, if you wish to have perfect surface, you will need to wait until end of dec


Hi, unfortunately we dont process nyatoh


Ohh ! Izzit? Yeah, you are right. Sometimes i am outstation, is ok, just call me before you start your journey:)

Yes, looking forward to work with you, and no worry, all price including above stated is base on tonnes counted.

Hi, to save cost, now alot of ppl jointing it.

Hahaha



Thank you ! You are welcome to visit at anytime!


Hahaha

Agreed

Oh, that is my cousin, we are under 1 roof but different company. He is processing Balau, Chengal, Merbau, and Giam. Depend on season, sometimes he process Meranti as well.

I am currently processing Balau only, and will change to Chengal soon.

Thats why, anyone come to this roof could have alot of choices.

This is the family business since 1988, and just move to new location this year, expanding to 30 hectares from 6 hectares before.

Ya, especially Balau, if it not enough dry, the corner (90 degrees) will be turn up after some times, then spoil the glue.

My cousin office has 1 table been cracked exactly caused by this.

Sure, you can buy at 50% or more lower than original price if you use B-Grade wood.

B-grade wood aren't bad and soft, it is just rejected wood caused by hole and crack, it's still hard and durable. If you can find a way to make those hole and crack look fantastic, you are actually having a unique thing in your house !

Ya ya ! His name is Curt Lai. That few pieces is cutting out from a big logs as i remember, waiting for a hotel project to make decorations last time he told me.

Ya, something like that, but that few piece are included skin. Yes, sometimes we will have it, but due to now we are cutting truck base order, the slab is smaller too, and without skin.

The 1x4 or 2x6 we have ready stock for that. But Balau or Changal don't recommended to KD, since the chances to bend or twisted is too high. Usually we air dry it, about a month or two. You can buy from us any quantity.

Hi, thanks for your interested, will post here once i have it

Yeah ! We have plenty of this !

:clab:

Ya, you can actually draw a plan, and then follow the size and length, everything should be smooth ~

For my experience, i do saw some low quality flooring tear off in those budget hotel. But most of it because of shoes impact, the 1st layer of printed color run off.

:clab:

Ok, deal ! You come my factory, i donate for you some. I am serious~

Hi, thank you !

Yeah, Balau are well suitable for such application. Unfortunately, we only supplying wood.

Sure ! I need to learn alot from you !

Wow, beautiful ! This type of wood usually i saw it in Coffee shop, quite nice also if using it for home.

You are such a rare man now-a-day, everyone switching to steel or aluminium

Yeah ! Just like this, stone and wood are also nice combo too.
