  1. Teak – High oil content, perfect for outdoor furniture and decking.

  2. Sal Wood – Strong and termite-resistant, ideal for door frames and structural uses.

  3. Pine – Lightweight and easy to work with—great for interiors and shelving.

  4. Hardwood (Sheesham, Oak, Mahogany) – Used in premium flooring, staircases, and furniture.
