Thingan - Mai Takien

The sapwood of White Thingan is a pale yellow or greyish yellow that turns pale brown on exposure. The heartwood is a yellowish-brown to brownish red sometimes with dark streaks, turning purplish on exposure, with lustrous white resin canals at irregular intervals, becoming dull with age.

The wood is very hard and heavy weighing, difficult to saw but finishes well. It is chiefly used for boat-building, dug-out canoes and for construction purposes, where durability and strength are of primary importance. It is also used for carts, presses flooring, roofing, piles, fence-posts, ploughs, furniture, etc. It is a first class sleeper wood.
