Usha di, I tried searching Google with words you mentioned: "woods used of litsea trees" ... I did not see any idols of Ganesha in Google image results, nor did I find any mention among search results for "commercial uses of Litsea deccanensis wood".
The link you supplied "page that clearly lists it as Ganapaty tree" <http://www.forests.ap.gov.in/abkp/Forest%20Flora%20of%20Andhra%20Pradesh/files/ff1521.htm> is ditto what I have put in my first post - Forest Flora of Andhra Pradesh <http://www.forests.ap.gov.in/abkp/Forest%20Flora%20of%20Andhra%20Pradesh/files/ff1521.htm> - that is the only site that has originally listed the name. All other sites including mine, FoI, eFI have got it from there. I have put quite a bit of time in searching with various sets of words - but have not found any encouraging results. I am hoping someone may help me now or any time later. Regards.
