I recently took up woodworking as a hobby. One of my project is to make myself some Adirondack chairs. At my local lumber yard they suggested some Suhdok (Sehdok?) lumber. Which I purchased - not super cheap but has a nice grain and colour. The also had Durian wood but told me not to use it (Because it tastes bad?)

 

Anyway, can anyone tell me what Sudhok wood is (latin and english) and what is your experience with it. And is there any other type of wood you would recommend for outdoor furniture? I assume Teak is a lot more expensive?

Try reposting in the DIY forum,maybe more responses.

This might help, but no pics:
