Chir Pine Wood (Pinus roxburghii) – by Limra Timbers

Workable Softwood for Construction, Joinery & Packaging

Chir Pine wood, scientifically known as Pinus roxburghii, is a widely used softwood native to the Indian subcontinent. It is well-known for its affordable price, high workability, and suitability for construction, joinery, and packaging applications. Due to its lightweight nature and easy machining, Chir Pine timber is especially popular in budget-friendly furniture production, pallet manufacturing, and interior carpentry.

At Limra Timbers, we supply seasoned and chemically treated Chir Pine wood in a variety of sizes, grades, and lengths suitable for residential carpentry, large-scale industrial applications, and export packaging. Our Chir Pine timber is sustainably sourced from responsibly managed forests and treated to meet international durability standards, offering excellent value, dimensional stability, and long-term performance.
