Wood, bamboo and cane questions

Straight answers.

Anything else, ask us directly. A principal replies, not a bot.

anirudh@sourcesquid.co

Which wood is best for Indian export furniture?

Mango and acacia offer good value, sheesham gives rich grain and strength, and teak suits premium and outdoor pieces.

Where is cane furniture made in India?

Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh is a known cane and bamboo furniture centre, and Assam, Tripura and other North East states are major sources of bamboo and cane craft.

Is mango wood sustainable?

Mango wood usually comes from orchard trees that no longer bear fruit, so it is widely seen as a sustainable choice.
