Choosing the right timber is essential when selecting a wooden carving. Teak, mahogany, and suar are among the most popular hardwoods used in Indonesian craftsmanship.
Teak is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, termites, and weather changes. It is ideal for outdoor statues and long-term investment pieces.
Mahogany features a reddish-brown color with a smooth, straight grain. It is easier to carve and perfect for detailed artistic designs.
Suar wood has dramatic grain patterns and natural color variations. It is strong, stable, and highly popular for modern decorative carvings.
Each wood type offers unique characteristics. The right choice depends on placement, design preference, and durability needs.
