Woods We Use

The woods behind our plywood & timber

Every veneer we peel and every timber we saw · independently researched, cross-checked and cited

What this is: the species that actually pass through our factory gates — the face and core veneers inside our plywood, and the Kerala hardwoods our sawn-timber desk cuts for packing. Each entry covers density, hardness, workability, durability and real-world use, cross-checked across independent sources with references on every page. Where we use a wood, we say exactly where.

Every entry is researched from multiple independent sources — botanical databases, forest-products laboratories, the IUCN Red List and the timber trade — and figures are cross-checked before we publish. Where sources disagree, we show the range. All writing is Cochin Wood Industries' own; sources are cited on each page.
