Gamari

/ɡæməˈri/ noun

Definition

A type of tropical or subtropical tree, or wood derived from it, valued for construction and timber purposes.

Etymology

From Hindi and Indian language origins, the term likely derives from Sanskrit or a regional Indian language where it refers to a specific tree species common in South Asia.

Kelly Says

Gamari wood is incredibly dense and resistant to rot and insect damage—it's been used for shipbuilding and structural beams for centuries in India and Southeast Asia because it basically lasts forever if you keep it dry.
