kg baru sg buloh along jalan welfare got lot of pemborong kayu

lazada got few shops, read the review.
if custom sizing you need to contact them

if you're in klang valley, sg buloh area got many shops/factories selling these type of wood

this wood quality so so.. what you want to do with this wood ?

Usually diy furniture, custom made furniture

I rather use solid rubber wood. There are more fine and cheap.

(in pic): pinewood easily available but its softwood. it will bend easily so cannot sustain heavy load like a TV over long span like 5-6 feet, without midspan supports.

hardwood e.g. cengal, balau can easily withstand a large man or two females' weight without breaking.

pinewood got virgin type (no nail) and non virgin type aka preloved / recon from pallet with nail holes.

But what purpose

decorative ok, but not heavy duty purposes ya. because the density of these wood is not strong. usually use to make crates.

Wow... I'm so glad to have such positive replies from all of you! Appreciate all!

Purpose :
Plan to have some DIY work from Rack, Stool, Bench, Small Island, cupboard to hanging on ceiling or wall to lay Rockwool on it!

Look for Pinewood because I have not much knowledge about wood and wood board (always use plywood in the past, aiyo... can't tahan la...)

Pinewood looks nice, and perhaps cheaper? Not sure.

As I know solid wood quite expensive wasn't it? And will that easy to handle during work processing?

Your inspirations are appreciated!

Shopee and lazada both have it. They might not have the exact size or length you want ... have a look.

Been playing pallet wood for 3 years now. Just a hobbyist. I get my supply from either factories or Mudah sellers.

From factory is rough pine wood and good for rustic feel.

Sellers usually already planed the wood so its more uniform, best for furniture and so on.

Have fun.

Go Lazada, search for pine wood or pallet wood.

That's and what I wish start from! At first,I thought pinewood in Malaysia is pricey! Not at all?
Mind to share the seller contact like Facebook or Shopee account?
Eh, showcase your masterpiece Bro 😁

Sure! Erm, what's the different of Pinewood vs Pallet Wood?

From what I've seen, it's the same thing, except some being sold as pine has better finishing.

Here is your local supplier ....

bro, pallet wood possible to "ketam" it then sand it until no splinter? i plan to make some small gate for my toddlers..

Yes it possible. I have sanded so many pallet wood in the past 3 years. By hand it will take sometime and you need to start rough 180 grit or so, then move to 220 or 240 to finish it.

Sanding is time consuming, until I bought a sander to ease my life. If you sekali sekala then sand by hand lah. If you got interest, time to get power tools.

If you want to ketam yourself, its very painstaking. I use to do it until now malas already.

Pine wood is considered soft wood ad thus good for not so serious furniture. If its for serious furniture then need proper bracing from other wood or metal.

Pine wood is nice for finishing as its fair wood. However, its not weather friendly. That you will need either multiple layers of paint or polyurethane.

No masterpriece bro. All like rough work. Make stuff not for sale. Just to pass time. LOL

solid rubber wood so easy pop up? I don't think so.


Those laminated compress wood surface may be will pop if put into water.

shoppee pun ada laa


tapi dont expect quality kayu nya bagus la.

pay mahal kayu pun cantik la

setakat buat rak or shelf ok je

kalau nak letak kat living room hang pikir sendiri

Cool! Will check it out!

Wow... This is so informative to a newbie ! Thanks.
So, if build for Sit like Stool? What's the minimum requirement of wood (type) should start from?

** out of topic sikit:
Regarding paints to prevent woods or boards damage from water (like plywood on cheap toilet's door), what's your recommendations?

Wow... Super nice wood! Look like, mahal kan?


Aiyaya. Kalau macam tu, kayu from shopee hanya OK for
Decoration? Duduk, tidur, makan... Tak boleh?

Boleh tp jgn complainla nanti kalau dpt kayu buruk. Kalau baca comment kat shoppee tu usually noob je, kalau ko pandai dpt kayu buruk kikis tampal with plaster and syelek la balik. No. Prob. Banyak comment dpt kayu buruk la hape la dha harga pun murah

For proper protection, you will need paint as in coloured paint. They offer the best protection for weather ( sun and water ). Polyurethane works the same but its a clear coat. This you will need to apply multiple layers which is kinda leceh.

Some old school people even use diesel to paint the soft wood for water resistance. Diesel will be absorbed into the wood and makes it waterproof. However this will stink for a while.

Plywood use paint if you can. If possible dont use plywood for toilet ( wet ) doors. After a while it will split. My plywood in the house after 1.5 years split also even though its dry and indoors.

For stools I like to use the pallet brace, which is thicker. If you notice a pallet has the top face ( which is lots of small wood ) and below it there is like a brace ( usually 3 pieces). I use the brace for stool legs as its thicker and can handle more weight.

Haha. Berilmu! Syelek tu tak cantik ya?! I like natural color la. Tapi apa bahan utk sapu selepas finish?

Appreciate, so informative! So, what's the best material for coating? I like natural color. As mentioned above, I think Syelek not so nice, look old-school. Haha. And I don't like kilat kilat.

** out of topic!
Toilet Plywood Door. As we know bottom side always wet till damaged! I wish to do some repair instead of replace! Any suggestion?

yes, this supplier very good n helpful. previously bought some wood for diy from them

Thanks for the confirmation! Will definitely check it out! Got shopee?

yes, their shopee shop name is atkcewarehouse or ewarehouse

Cool. Followed!

Go around industrial area. Bring hammer. Ask the shop if you can have a few of the pallet. Use hammer to remove nails and you have pallet wood for free!!!

you can contact them to customize the measurement as well, their prices are reasonable

Haha. At first, I thought you wanted to play jokes 😂 But this is a good idea huh! So, normally they don't keep?

Which seller would you recommend?
