Durian – PEFC-Certified Lightweight Hardwood for Furniture and Interior Joinery

Durian is a light to medium-density tropical hardwood, commonly found across Southeast Asia. It is valued for its pale yellow to light brown color, fine texture, and straight to shallowly interlocked grain.

Durian wood is known for its ease of machining, gluing, and finishing, making it a popular choice for cost-effective wood products that require a smooth, uniform appearance. As a PEFC-certified sustainable timber, it aligns with responsible forestry practices for environmentally conscious manufacturing.
