A transparent market for tropical hardwood
Tropical hardwood, priced openly.
WhatWood is the first transparent marketplace for tropical timber. Snap photos of your logs, set your price in RM/ton, and list them where buyers across Malaysia can see exactly what they're getting — before the first message is sent.

A market the timber industry has never had.
For thirty years, tropical hardwood prices have been settled load by load, broker by broker. WhatWood replaces the argument with a transparent market — honest prices, verified listings, and buyers connected from Kelantan to Sabah.
Photo-first listings
Every listing carries real seller photos — close-up of the end-grain, the full pile, any defect a buyer needs to see. What the buyer sees is what they get, before a single message is sent.
Connected buyers
Sellers in Kelantan reach buyers in Sabah. Open offers, recently-sold prices, market index by species and tier — all in one place. The whole tropical timber belt, one marketplace.
What a real listing looks like.
One photo, the species, the diameter tier, the asking price — and buyers see it the moment you publish.

From the field
We used to argue with brokers over Merbau prices every load. WhatWood gives us a per-ton number we can stand behind — and the photo annotations make it easy to show buyers exactly what they're paying for.
