To all interested in Merbau timber,
Please be aware it is not supplied in some states due to the devastation merbau foresting is causing in Asia. Merbau foresting is killing the Orangatan in Asia, PNG and Solomons. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SUSTAINABLE MERBAU. Many major companies around the world including Europe, USA and UK have banned the supply of Merbau. Australia has been slow to catch on. We need to use different timbers and not instantly think of Merbau when we think of decking etc. Please Google the following for more information. You can copy and paste these directly into your website section.
