Appearance wise, sheesham wood is golden brown or dark brown in color. It also has streaks of sapwood which might be white to light brown.
The wood itself is very brittle. To make it strong and worth using, the wood is first air dried very carefully otherwise it tends to split. After drying, the wood becomes resilient and loses its moisture. However, it still remains elastic and can be easily cut with a saw.
Perhaps the most outstanding quality of sheesham wood is that it is very flexible to work with. It responds very well to polishing and can be comfortably turned around and glued.
According to many Architects in Pakistan, due to its elastic and flexible nature, sheesham is an ideal wood for furniture, veneers and door frames and panels. Its ability to withstand high quality polish allows it to be a perfect wood for beautiful furniture and its elastic nature allows carpenters to shape it into frames and make veneers out of it.
Sheesham also serves to be a perfect wood for cabinet, desks, chests and cupboards. It is a strong resilient wood with high density because of which it can also be used for making decorative carvings.
The wood is also used in some parts of India and Pakistan for making boats and as a fire wood. The malleable nature of the wood also allows it to be used for making paper.
Sheesham wood can be used for making houses, doors and floors but not always. In smaller towns and cold areas, the wood is perfect for construction purposes, but in larger cities and suburbs, the wood is not preferred for that purpose.

Three years after hundreds of trees were felled in two wildlife sanctuaries in Patiala and Sangrur under an officially approved restoration plan, s officials have begun looking into violations of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
Under the scanner are two aspects of the restoration project. One, while the state wildlife board had permitted the removal of only eucalyptus and mesquite weed from Bir Mehas in Nabha and Bir Aishwan, fully-grown trees of other native species were among the 26,742 trees felled between 2015 and 2017. In Punjab, Bir is a local forest designated as a wildlife sanctuary.
Secondly, the felled trees were auctioned and the money earned was not used for the needs of people living around both sanctuaries, which is contrary to provisions of the Act.
