Why not check a place where they sell wood for fuel, ishaan? Some friend of yours might know a place in a village close to your town, in some households they still buy wood for use as firewood...

Abartar: Neem has very dissappointing wood, weak, covered in bark, a real expert eye will be needed to arrange it aesthetically. The azadirachtin it leaks is not much compared to the tannins all woods excrete anyway.
ok will try to find jungle jalebi :roll :roll
