What kind of wood?
Hi All
I am working on a daiza theese days, and Wonder if anybody know what kind of hardwood it is...It does a kind of remind me of balsawood...the pale collor and the soft surface without grain, exept from what you see, and then is it very hard...I have teak, it does not feel and look the same.
Kind regards Yvonne

Hi thanks to you both
A friend just told me it could be "Meranti"...I googled it, and I am sure it is this kind of Wood, the collor and grain is the same.
Very nice to work with, by the way....

A very interesting wood from a Genus I'd never heard of. Thanks for the education. On an amusing side note, one of the Googled sites noted: "The wood is similar in color and grain to Mahogany."
Very attractive daiza, by the way. Are you going to stain it?

Hi Jim
Yes, the daiza is already stained...I found it was not easy to polish the Wood, it was nice to work with, but polish was not easy...I guess it it is not so hard as the mahogany, and other kinds of wood I prefer to work with...show the new suiseki later.

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but i was wondering whether you'd ever tried using katalox for a daiza? it comes in some really dark shades and takes a sanded finish like glass, the one potential drawback to it is that its quite hard at 3660 on the janka hardness scaleYvonne Graubaek wrote:Hi Jim

Re: What kind of wood?
I have not tried katalox...never heard about it until this reply...I found out the Wood in this topic was meranti, othervise do I not really know what kind of old hardwood I was given by a friend.
I will be interested in all kinds of hard Wood with a quiet surface for my daizas....later when I have run out of the Wood, will I go searching...two days ago I found out there was a hardwood"shop" not that far from were I live. Will visit the the place together with a friend soon...good to know what they can offer.
