Hardwood Lumber Phil-Mahogany Meranti
Typically a dark reddish or purplish brown; commonly with white resin streaks present. Typically easy to work, though any interlocked grain can present problems during the planning, and Dark Red Meranti is reported to have very poor steam-bending properties. Some species may have a slight blunting effect on tools due to the small levels of silica present in the wood. Glues, stains, and finishes well.
Meranti is sometimes used as a look-a-like for Mahoganies when properly stained and finished. Can be used for some cabinet work and mouldings. Good for general construction uses and sometimes used in boatbuilding.

Hardwood Lumber Teak-FEQ (First European Quality) Burmese Teak
The Heartwood tends to be a golden or medium brown, with the color darkening with age. The grain is straight, though it can occasionally be wavy or interlocked. Coarse, uneven texture, and moderate to a low natural luster. Raw, unfinished wood surfaces have a slightly oily or greasy feel due to natural oils. Teak has been considered by many to be the gold standard for decay resistance, and its Heartwood is rated as very durable. Teak is also resistant to termites, though it is only moderately resistant to marine borers and powder post beetles.

Hardwood Lumber Oak-Northern White
White Oak, like Red Oak, grows broadly across the eastern half of the United States. Although in smaller quantities than Red Oak, White Oak is a ring-porous species with a characteristic strong grain and rays that are longer and more pronounced than those in Red Oaks. The Heartwood is light to medium tan; the sapwood is slightly contrasting creamy-white. White Oak typically grows more slowly than Red Oak and produces lumber with a “softer” grain pattern. The pores in the Heartwood are impervious to liquid, making White Oak suitable for cooperage.
