Bangkirai vs Ulin
We had several inquiries recently, for custom woodworking - including our famous outdoor deck, that asked for two different species: Bangkirai/Yellow Balau (Shorea Laevifolia Endert) or Ulin/Ironwood (Eusideroxylon Zwageri). Although both species come from completely different scientific classification, their propeties are almost similar. Both are fairly easy to work with, yellowish to brownish in color, straight grain, insects resistant, and many more similarities. The important difference is the hardness, which Ulin is considered the most durable and heaviest timber in the world, while Bangkirai can only match it to 30 years of lifespan.
The bad news is, Ulin is strictly regulated by Indonesian government. It becomes rare and of course expensive.
Bangkirai takes the advantage, with the same properties, durability and good supply, it gains popularity very quick, it is more economical and cost less than its contender.
Bangkirai can be used for various garden articles or light uses and heavy duty job such as bumper for barge, harbor deck and many more.
