indian furniture

[stevebullman]

my wife and i are refurnishing, we've been looking at acacia furniture and have come across this jali and sheesham wood which ive never heard of and any search i put in on the web just brings up the furniture and not details of the wood.
i know acacia is good wood and want to know how jali and sheesham compares, anyone have any info?

I could only find Dalbergia sissoo (Sheesham, Indian rosewood. Nothing worthwhile on jali, which could possibly be not a wood, but a line of furniture, as this Jali Collection link leads me to believe.

thanks for that glens, you;re right about the jali, i sussed that one out, its that ironwork design style.
im wondering how good that sheesham wood is if its a member of the teak family it oughta be good but it seems so cheap,probably just cos its imported from india i guess
