Jackwood Logs (Plavu)

Jackwood Logs (Plavu) refer to the wood derived from the Jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus), which is widely found in Kerala and other parts of South India. The Jackfruit tree, known as Chakka in Malayalam, produces large, nutritious fruit, but its wood also has significant utility, particularly in traditional construction and woodworking. Jackwood is relatively hard, dense, and durable, making it an excellent choice for construction and furniture-making. While not as hard as some other hardwoods like teak, jackwood is still quite sturdy and resistant to wear and tear. The wood has a light to medium texture with a straight or slightly irregular grain. It is easy to work with, making it popular in both traditional and modern carpentry. The color of jackwood varies from light yellowish to pale brown. Over time, it darkens and develops a warm, rich tone, which adds to its visual appeal. Its smooth finish and unique texture make it suitable for polished furniture and decorative items. In Kerala, jackwood is used in the construction of homes, particularly for beams, rafters, and other structural components. It is also used in the construction of furniture such as tables, chairs, cabinets, and traditional Kerala-style wooden windows and doors. Due to its ease of carving and turning, jackwood is commonly used in intricate woodwork, such as decorative carvings in temples and houses, as well as in the crafting of various wooden articles. Compared to more expensive hardwoods like teak, jackwood is relatively more affordable, making it an attractive choice for people looking to build durable structures or create quality wooden furniture at a lower cost.
