In this study, the sapwood of Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Beech (Fagus Orientalis L.) which are the two important species in the Turkey lumber industry and the wood of Tali (Erythrophleum suaveolens), Teak (Tectona grandis), and Mkuruti (Baphia kirkii) which are the tropical species were used. The test specimens were prepared to determine the physical (density) and mechanical (bending strength, compression strength) properties according to standard. The prepared test samples were dipped into Indian Ocean water obtained in Zanzibar Island of Tanzania for one year. It was determined that the density values of Scotch pine and tropical tree species increased with seawater exposure and there was no significant change in the density values of beech samples. The bending strength properties of the local tree species which exposed to seawater were significantly reduced compared to the control samples. Slight variations were determined from bending strength of tropical tree species. A positive interaction was measured from Tali and Mkuruti samples. The decreasing was determined on the compressive strength properties of the local tree species samples which exposed to seawater, while the increase from tropical tree species samples.
