Gmelina arborea, gamhar, is bought by plywood units, light furniture makers, packing wood buyers and paper pulp units. You sell either standing trees to a contractor or felled logs to a mill or trader. The rate is set by girth, straightness and the timber market at sale time, with bigger straight logs fetching more. Gamhar is generally a lower value timber than premium teak but is valued for its fast growth and quicker returns, and it competes in a similar space to eucalyptus and poplar for plywood and pulp. So the per unit rate is usually below teak but the shorter rotation can still make it worthwhile on good moist land. Get quotes from more than one buyer, know your log volume, and keep your transit pass ready before sale.

Plywood buyers took my gamhar. Rate was less than teak would be but I harvested in about eight years instead of twenty five, so the faster turn made it worth it for me.
