   Y,

   You must show us pictures of colour and grain, as there are many tree types growing in them rain forests (or not, if they have got into your mits and bench).

   yank,

   Just go to the bottom of the screen and you'll see a button that says Attach Files.  Click on it and it will open a dialogue box. 

   There are 3 steps, top to bottom:

   Click on Browse - here you search your computer for the file you want; once found click on the filename then clickl on Upload - where you tell the software to upload the file to Tauntons WEB site.  Wait until you see the file in the dialogue near the top. 

   This step is where many fail, as they don't wait for the file to apppear.  It may take several seconds depending on file size and your connection speed to the internet.

   When you have finished attaching the file(s), click on Done.  Thats it!

   Large files take time and are a dogma for the dial-up impaired users.  There is a program on the internet called Irfanview that is really simple to use and will allow resizing of pictures.  Google it and you will find it.  It's free too.

   Hope this helps.

   Regards,Bob @ Kidderville Acres

   My wife is from Malaysia. Been there once myself.. Most of the wood from Malaysia is Rubberwood. This is about the color of oak when finished clear. They also clearcut palm trees on plantations when they become unproductive. (they do re-plant) But I don't know if it is re-used in wood products.

   It's not the color of oak and I know it's not palm.

   Post a photo. That'll make it easier to ID.

   Yankum,

   Based on all of the information that you have provided to us, I can say without any credibility or reliability or validity, that is certainly either Southern Pine or Bubinga.

   Hope that helps. :-)

   i also get tons of this wood as packing crates around products from SE Asia. (at least I think its the same) is the grain on the stuff you have open like oak?

   would love to know what this stuff is or if it is worth using.
