Just seen so many people in the world struggling to make furniture out of wood that is too hard for the purpose. This restricts both style and quality. That is why the Africans and South Americans can't make at low cost, and why, for centuries, they have been held back in terms of their own usage. We take these things for granted, but I have commissioned furniture made out of such wood, and it blunts tools - even machine tools, in hours! The stylisation of softwoods is a much easier and cheaper option. Kurawood should and could reset their business plans and they will be a success.
