Explanation of Mindi Wood
Wood or mindi tree is one of group II - III hardwoods, meaning that the wood is quite hard but not too strong compared to teak or mahogany. This wood can grow quickly and can reach a fairly large diameter. if the explanation of where it came from, the Latin name and the others we submit to wikipedia only, we share based on the practice of the field directly.
Mindi wood sold in Jepara is available in the form of logs and also sawn timber aka dry board ready to use. Prices vary depending on the size and condition of the goods. what we mean by the condition of the goods is a board or broken log or not, because in our opinion the main disease of mindi wood is its tendency to break which is not infected. if drying is not really serious it will be a problem that makes stress in the future. this is only a small part of mindi's lack of wood, but before we just told about its superiority.

It's easy to break ... this is really annoying in our experience, getting a nice log, bullet it straight ... with the hope that it will be a good board later if it is split. arrived at the sawmill, split ... duarr ...! broken. dizzy ... the solution to this problem is ... we don't know, just let go of the wood we just do ... but let it not break again if it's already made of goods with maximum drying.
The second weakness of the mindi is that it is easily attacked by pests, perhaps because this type of wood is not too hard so it is soft for the teeth of the pest. maybe this is ... the solution, soak the mindi wood board into a wood-based anti-pest solution before entering the oven drying. this method is quite effective in our experience, but if you want to ensure the death of wood-eating pests, boil it using an anti-pest solution, not just dipping it. it can be sure to die until the eggs mature ...

Our conclusions
Mindi wood for good furniture if you want furniture that has good fiber appearance with a lower price than teak wood, the main thing is if you want natural wood fiber, it's good to use this wood.
But don't use mindi wood if:
- Want outdoor furniture that gets hot rain
- Want painted furniture, because unfortunately the fibers cover the paint, just use mahogany
- Want furniture that needs extra strength, for example, level cots, built in cabinets, heavy duty gazebo etc.
- Want super long and wide size table leaves. it's okay to make a 4 meter long 1.5 meter wide dining table using mindi wood, but our advice is not ... don't
