Does anyone know where I can buy Tamarind tree timber in the genaral Chiang Mai area?

We will be using it for small wood handicrafts production.

Cheers

No idea but people are always cutting them down, just drive around and look, you can probably get the logs for free, or little cost.

You should have a look for a shop who are selling this

Because this kind of wood is normaly from Tamarind.

And ask them where there get it. And maybe it;s show you the way to this:

Maybe it's help.

Thanks - anyone out there know where an actual Tamarind tree farm might be - which area?

Petchabun province.

I tried to get some but the wife says it makes the best charcoal, and is difficult to get. neighbour cut one down. Actually they sold it and the people who bought it cut it down.Never had a chance to get even a branch.

Up your way there should be a lot of trees that could provide an attractive wood. We cut down a large tree with orange flowers that produced large seed pods that had a lovely wood. I think it may have been a moringa tree in the acacia family. I would try finding a large tree and negotiate the purchase direct from the land owner. Then pay someone with a portable saw mill to cut it down in the general sizes that you want. We had 5 large (3 inch thick) table tops made and had the rest ripped out in 1 inch planks.
