Toon Wood (Indian Red Cedar – Toona ciliata) – by Limra Timbers

Lightweight | Aromatic | Artisan-Friendly

Toon Wood, commonly known as Indian Red Cedar (Toona ciliata), is a lightweight, moderately strong hardwood admired for its fine grain, reddish-pink tones, and naturally aromatic character. Long favoured by Indian artisans and interior craftsmen, it offers a rare blend of aesthetic warmth, affordability, and machinability — ideal for detailed joinery, hand carving, cabinetry, and decorative applications.

At Limra Timbers, we supply export-grade, seasoned Toon Wood in custom sizes. It holds strong appeal across international markets such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman for heritage-style interiors and joinery; Sri Lanka and Bangladesh for musical instruments and carved wood products; Malaysia and Vietnam for cabinetry and lightweight furniture; and Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Portugal) where boutique furniture makers and artisans value its elegance and affordability. In Australia, it is increasingly chosen for eco-conscious interiors and craft-based designs.
