Forests are the valuable natural resources for human beings. Myanmar has about 80% forest cover. There are about 1,200 species of trees and forests are being systematically conserved. At home and abroad, the expensive and aged Teak draws much interest. But the other useful and long-lasting hard-woods are well-preserved and produced adequately.

To be widely used in the World’s Market, finished valued-added goods of wood are imported rather than as logs. Ayeyarwady Division Local Trade and Furniture Workshop under the Myanmar Timber Enterprise produced good quality furniture using Pyingado, Padauk and other types of wood.

Moreover, to avoid wastage, the scrap pieces of wood are also utilized for home decoration, office use and art objects. Furniture can be made not only from these hard-woods but also from the rarely used one, like Taung-Thayet tree. Although Taung-Thayet wood is cheap but not popular, it has almost the same quality as Teak.

Easy to saw, good in retaining nails and convenient to plane-these are the excellent characteristics of Taung-Thayet wood. That’s why No,3 furniture Factory of Myanmar Timber Enterprise manufactures Taung-Thayet wood furniture using modern techniques. After step by step production, you can see durable furniture in modern designs. Now, wood finishing factories under the Myanmar Timber Enterprise are currently producing the stylish furniture for local use and also for export.
