Thank you very much for accepting.
I thank you too.

Is the Argan tree wood used to produce home decoration stuff etc…?
No!
Like the Thuya items?
No, it´s used as charcoal for example.
Charcoal?
Yes.
And what else? Is it also used as ceiling beams?
Yes, as well.
Called “Tassiout”, right?
Yes.
Additionally to the charcoal, that´s all? Nothing like the Thuya stuff?
No, that´s something else. Argan wood is used as I stated for example as charcoal or ceiling beams.

Many folks still confuse the Argan tree (Argania Spinoza) with the Thuja tree (Tetraclinis Articulata or Arabic term “Aaraar”).
Although both are harsh-weather resistant and play an important ecological role, yet the Argan tree is found only in the area of south-west Morocco and apart from its main use which is the yield of Argan oil, the Argania Spinoza´s wood is also used to feed cattle, for some minor construction purposes and as charcoal, while the Thuja is essentially found in almost the whole south western mediterranean region is used for making home-related decoration items like wooden jewelry boxes, tables, furniture etc..
