Shorea, also known as bankarai, is a tropical hardwood which grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Burma. It is closely related to tectona grandis, or Burma Teak, and is therefore used in many outdoor applications like shipbuilding, bridges, piers, and outdoor furniture. The abundance of shorea, as well as its accessibility, has made it a considerably less expensive choice over teak for all outdoor applications. Dense and hard, shorea is highly resistant to rot and bug infestation. It is heavy, making it resistant to wear and marring. Shorea will weather naturally to a warm shade of gray over a period of about one year. If you choose to maintain the original color of the wood you may apply a teak oil seasonally.
