Join date: Aug 2018 | Sal is better it does not rot in water and economical. Tajmahal foundation is based on sal and going good for last 400 years. However you should not expose sal to direct sunlight as it cracks.
Another good option is red Marandi wood ot is imported from Australia also known as Honge wood in Karnataka. You can see honge trees growing in Bangalore too.

| | Raw Material | | Teak wood is a kind of hardwood and called the king of the woods. Usually the name of the teak in India is given based on the origin place of the teak. For example, if the teak wood comes from Burma then the teak would be called Burma teak and if it comes from Ivory Coast then the teak would be called Ivory teak. |
| Implementation Raw Material | | Teak is available in the market as Timber logs whereas some vendors are also selling custom frames that could directly be used in door and window frames.
