In Indonesia, mahogany is very popular, especially in many areas of Java, where it is known as high-value commercial timber so many people cultivate and trade in the domestic commodity market.
Indonesian Mindi
Melia azedarach
Mindi has a density similar to Red Oak. On the Janka scale, a scale that rates wood hardness and mass mindi ranks at 1,055, while red oak ranks at 1,060. The difference in hardness between the two is almost imperceptible. Mindi is naturally resistant to decay and fungus as is cedar. Fresh-cut or mindi sap wood appears close to poplar, as it’s yellowish with brown streaks. With exposure to light and closer to the heart wood, mindi grows darker in as in the colors found in teak or cherry. Its texture is coarse like oak, but it has tighter grain patterns than oak does.

It has a certain economic importance for the wood, commercially known and exported with the name of “bayur”, of good quality, average hardness and density, easy to work and to refine, utilized locally in the construction of the dwellings, for beams, floors, fixtures and coatings, of boats, bridges, furniture, art objects, in the veener (technique consisting in covering a low-quality wood with thin wood sheets) and in the fabrication of the plywood.
