This Garden Furniture is produced from high quality Yellow Balau . It is a very dense tightly grained wood that is heavily laden with rich tropical oils and resins. Balau's texture is very fine and even. It machines well to give an excellent finish to the product

Yellow Balau looks very much like teak in colour.

For centuries Balau has been used for shipbuilding, heavy-duty outdoor furniture, and heavy construction, coveted for it's excellent strength and weather resistant qualities.

Over the years, teak has been more popular than Balau because of its availability.

However, in recent years, teak has been over-harvested and the price has skyrocketed. As a result, teak is now plantation grown.

Balau is also a responsibly managed species and although it's mechanical properties are superior, Balau has not experienced the overpricing that teak has.
