It all depend on the moisture... If the moisture is right... It will attract termite...

nope. we have some wood we just stacked outside the shop drain area. can clearly see some woods are being eaten and others untouched.
i dunno how many specis of wood you have at your disposal but we have maybe 5-8 specis from south america, 5-8specis from africa, 5-8 specis from usa 5-8 specis from australia and 10-15 specis from asia.. i think we fairly know the woods pretty well.

I give you simple example la...Ferrari,many said what's special about it but many people spends 20,30 million for its old car...

Same with this wood..can last hundreds of year,very expensive,rare,must be master skill on wood marking in order to carve it since it's a super hard wood like steel...
