With the aid of modern machines performing secondary support functions, we are now able to produce commercial volumes with reasonable time without sacrificing the physical integrity of our products.

Production volume depends on furniture types, quantity per production batch and the intricacy of the pieces.
 
Malaysia is blessed with one of the richest rainforest in the region. 70% of our country is still covered with virgin jungle. The Malaysian government is committed to protect this national heritage by establishing strict forest management policies to protect and ensure sustainable forestry. At KLN Timbercraft, we use a variety of Malaysian Hardwood. The timber used at our factory are treated and kiln dried according to their respective specifications.

Our preference is the Merbau (Intsia Palembanica), fondly referred as the Malaysian Rosewood. Physically superior to most other hardwood, it has good woodworking properties, giving smooth machined surfaces, takes finishes readily and easy to glue. The very low shrinkage of the wood while drying out makes the seasoned timber very stable in service.
