Abstract
Acacia mangium is the most planted tree species in Sarawak. To date a total of 245 000 hectares have been planted with Acacia mangium and its hybrids. With the availability of mature acacia plantation the utilization of acacia logs beyond pulp and paper has generated great concern. The utilization of any timber species depends on the physical and other properties of the species. This paper examines the basic and working properties of Acacia mangium and discusses the effects of these properties on end-use applications. Recommendations are also made on how to enhance the effective utilization of timber species for furniture outdoor and structural applications.
