Arau Wood

Arau wood is procured from Malaysia. The texture, weight, and color is similar to the Champ wood found in the north eastern region of India. It is suitable as a general utility timber. It has also been used as posts, joists, rafters, flooring, furniture and household implements.
The sapwood is not well defined from the heartwood, which is pale straw-coloured when fresh, darkening on exposure to a light yellow. Texture is rather fine and even, with straight grain. The wood is durable, and is sought-after for construction. The wood is especially suitable for constructing frames for doors and windows. The timber is reported to be easy to work and the planed surface is smooth. Glues, stains, and finishes well.
