Stephen's business used to have a close relationship with a miller but he's out of that now so we don't have any outlet for big sticks, but when we were handing them over....oddly enough mango Mangofera indica was cited as having the very best grain for really high value slabs. Both the Albizia's that grow up here saman and lebbeck have good timber, of course Castanospermum blackbean, when its old enough.

I have seen Camphor turned into beautiful bowls, though I'm told the timber is not healthy to mill..allergy problems from the dust.
