Better hurry and get your order in before it is all gone.
After the ban on the export of Iron wood, the Indonesian Government has announced that based on a prediction of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Bangkirai and Merbau timber will no longer be allowed to be felled and exported as per the year 2014 at the latest since the forests will have by then reached its Government controlled felling capacity. Felling concession contracts which will end after April 2009 will not be extended. This will imply that raw timber prices will gradually increase with the disappearance of concessions as less raw timber will become available. In an attempt to save the Indonesian forests the Government will most probably ban the felling of all tropical hardwood in the same year of 2014. Coconut wood and other tropical Indonesian softwoods are not on the list as yet.
Most of the cheap stuff is probably illegally cut.
