A.

BACKGROUND
Coconut timber comes from farmed plantations of old
coconut palms. The coconut palm was planted as a crop in
large plantations throughout the tropics in the early half of
the 20th century in order to harvest the coconut fruit. The
tree bears fruit until approximately 70 years of age, at
which point it is considered to have reached the end of its
economic life and is felled to make way for future crops.
Each year, several million palms are felled throughout the
tropics.

Traditionally, the trunks have been wasted by-products from

this process. Only in very recent years have people begun to
explore the potential commercial uses for this vast,
alternative supply of timber. This led to the commercial launch
of coconut timber in a range of different products, from
flooring to posts to furniture. With these products performing
at equal to or even better than conventional hardwoods,
coconut timber represents a viable substitute for endangered
hardwoods from an ecologically-sound source.

CHARACTERISTIC
Colour tones and hues range from golden to near ebony, with dark
brown flecks. There are three basic coconut timber colour divisions
relating to the timber's density: dark brown tones (high density);
medium brown tones (medium density); and light golden tones (low
density).Coconut trees have no annual growth rings, rays, heartwood
or branches, meaning that coconut timber is free from knots and other
such imperfections.

C.

PROPERTIES
The coconut palm is a monocotyledon. It has a smooth, slender stem
that grows to a height of about 25 metres and with an average diameter
of 300mm. The hardest, densest part of the wood is found on the outer
perimeter of the trunk, which gives the tree its strength, while the
wood's high silica content gives the tree elasticity. Towards the centre of
the trunk, the wood gets less hard.
Coconut timber is classified according to three degrees of density:
-

High-density timber (dermal) hard: 600-900kg/m

Medium-density timber (sub-dermal) medium/hard: 400600kg/m

Low-density timber (core) soft/medium: 200-400kg/m

Janka ball hardness test:
Coconut = 1600 2200 psi (dependent on which figures you look
at)

Douglas-fir = 510 psi

Oak between 1000 1200 psi dependent on type of oak.

USAGE
Coconut timber has many applications as both a structural and interior
design material. The harder, high-density timber is suitable for general
structural purposes such as pillars, trusses, rafting, furniture, window and
doorframes, floors, decking and floor joists. Medium density coconut
timber can be used for walls, ceiling joists and horizontal studs. Low
density coconut timber is used in non-load bearing applications like wood
panelling, internal trim and ceilings, as well as homewares.
Coconut trunks are used for building small bridges; they are preferred for
their straightness, strength and salt resistance. In Kerala (India), coconut
trunks are used for house construction.
Coconut timber comes from the trunk, and is increasingly being used as an
ecologically sound substitute for endangered hardwoods. It has
applications in furniture and specialized construction, notably in Manila's
Coconut Palace.

Hawaiians hollowed the trunk to form drums, containers, or small canoes.

The "branches" (leaf petioles) are strong and flexible enough to make a switch.
The use of coconut branches in corporal punishment was revived in the
Gilbertese community on Choiseul in the Solomon Islands in 2005.

When we are cutting of the coconut wood, first thing to do is

selecting the coconut wood ages. We will uncover the timber skin.
after we see the full black fiber that believed the wood age above 60
years then we will cut the trees with a maximum height of 10 meters.

After cutting the coconut wood logs, we

send wood logs is through land transport
and sea travel to arrive at our workshop
in Semarang, Central Java.

The coconut wood requires a special

handling procedures in making the wooden
floor. because coconut wood has a very large
waste of value, it takes a certain technique.
we call it the slam technique. These
techniques put workmanship on the part of
black fiber size in advance and set aside its
derivatives.

Coconut Wood needs to be boiled to

reduce the oil inside the wood. The
boiled process for approximately 56hours. After we boiled the wood, we
will kiln dry or oven the reduce the
moisture. we do these to avoid the
wood crack when it becoms furniture.
the kiln dry process takes about 5-7
days.

After boiling and drying according to standard

procedures, we will make tongue& groove point and
sand in the machinery that we have.

Coconut Wood finishing refers to the process of

embellishing and/or protecting the surface of a
wooden material. The process starts with
surface preparation, either by sanding by hand
(typically using a sanding block or power
sander), scraping, or planing.
Once the coconut wood surface is prepared
and stained, a number of coats of finish may be
applied, often sanding between coats.
Commonly we used wood finishes include
lacquer, varnish, or paint.
Finally the surface may be polished or buffed
using a final coat of PU / UV / Melamic can be
applied over the finish to add a slight amount
of protection.

Our wood floors are usually packed in a variety of options, like the
cardboard box or in wood pallet. We packed in a certain amount
based on the size and buyers demand.
