Teak wood
The actual name of the tree is Tectona Grandis and it is a tropical hardwood tree species. It is found mainly in South and Southeast Asia and has a special smell reminiscent of leather. The texture of wood is dense and porous and its density varies depending on its moisture content.
It is well known for its resistance and especially in water. For this reason they use it for boat construction, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, interior flooring, finishes, turning and various small projects. It is also highly resistant to termite attacks and general damage caused by other insects.
It is worth noting that Teak wood has also been used for the construction of Masjid al-Haram, also known as The Great Mosque of Mecca, where in 2020 it was listed as the largest mosque in the world.
Suar Wood
This particular wood is known by dozens of names, starting with Samanea Saman. Over the years and depending on the local dialect of each region, many names were created, with the name Suar being the most prevalent in the timber industry.
