The coniferous tree, Tetradinis articulata (Vahl) Masters, commonly known as Barbary thuya is endemic to the western Mediterranean areas. Its root burl wood is very appreciated for its natural beauty, homogeneity and quality for marquetry and furniture. The natural durability of both thuya trunk and root burl woods against three wood decay fungi, Gloeophyllum trabeum, Poria placenta and Coniophora puteana, according to the methods described in the CEN/TS 15083-1 (2005) and NF EN 350-1 (1994) European standards, was assessed. Mass losses obtained after 16 weeks of exposure to these fungi, in laboratory test, showed that both thuya woods can be included in the very durable to durable classes against fungi. Such natural durability
