Studies on natural decay resistance of two timbers namely irul (Xylia xylocarpa) and laurel (Terminalia tomentosa) by "Accelerated laboratory tests" were conducted. Irul is highly decay resistant. This conforms with the field service class (I). It does not exhibit any radial variation in decay resistance. Laurel is moderately resistant in Which decay resistance of the heartwood increases from centre outwards. Decay resistance varied between individuals. In some, it conforms to field service class (II); in others, it is lower.
