Raintree, commonly known as Suar wood, is a fast-growing tropical hardwood prized for its broad slab sizes, flowing grain, and beautiful contrast between golden sapwood and rich brown heartwood. Native to Southeast Asia, Suar is beloved for its organic, earthy aesthetic — making it a popular choice for live-edge dining tables, desks, and communal pieces. It’s relatively stable, easy to work with, and perfect for furniture that blends nature with modern design.
