Philippine Hardwood Comes Into New Favor With The Builder

This bcautiful wood has all the beauty of grain and color of any of the mahoganies

Within the past few years Philippine Hardwood, (soq9times known is Philipiine Maho!'iny), has come rapid,ly into favor with the builder as an interior finish lumber. In its rich red color and satin beauty of grain, it rivals the na' tive mahogany of Central Amerisa. At the same time, its cost is onl! about half that of the other mahoganies, so th-at it is now 6eing imported in large quantities for use in the cabinet work ind panelling in thips, banks, public buildings, libraries, luxurious office suites and private dwellings.

Philippine Hardwood offers a rich finish. Doors, mouldings, pinelling, all forms of cabinet work, are beautiful-and efiictive in tfiis material. The u;e of plywood panelling, particularly, has brought Philippihe lfardwood into favor in the building of homes. Richly beautiful, but at once economical, thJs wood is well adapted to the finishing of the Model House, where the decorative treatment must attract the buyer's attention.

Most of the Philippine Hardwood which is imported into this country comes -from the Dipterocartaceae or Lauan family. Th-ere are a number of different species included in this eroup which have often been roughly classified by the trade- as Philippine Mahogany. The Lauan family-is--by far the most important family of hardwoods in the Philippine Islands. It embraces about 75 per cent of the present stand of timber and has a wider range of uses than wood of any other family. Some of the tree-l grow to great size. It is not uncomtrnon to find trees of five to six feet in diameter.

The collection of these woods for commerce is often a laborious process, undertaken -by the- natives. It sometimes involve3 the construction of a road through a dense forest and in a most difficult country, upon which the wood must be drawn to the nearest watercourse or sawmill. Here the logs are sawed, sometimes in very wide boards, with some shipments averaging 10" and wider, with excellent lengths from 8' to 2U. A common practice now is to ship the Philippine Hardwood logs as-a deck load on vessels to Ameiita, where they are iawed to the particular grain ahd dimension needed. fhe lumber is sawn-both quarter-sawed in (rift) grain and slash (plain). The qualter-sawed stock is knownls ribbon figure'lnd has on the face that narrow ribbon figure, so desired in mahogany.

The two distinct divisions are red and white stocks of Philippine hardwood, or light red and dark red stocks, as thev'are sometimes called.- The light red stock is particulaily adapted for staining brown-or walnut shades and ""tt il.obl stained an exc*ellent mahogany finish' While the dark red can also be stained brown, it is particularly adapted for a beautiful mahogany finish.

In the past, considerable of the so-called Philippine Mahogany, that'has been marketed in this.country, has contaiied'many small pin worm holes' This has been an obiectionable feature.' It is now possible to get this material iree from worm holes, as the better material is being cut from the uplands in the islands where the trees are not attacked by these'small worms'

Among the largest importers and- -manufacturers of Philiooii'e HardwJod for panels, mouldings, trim, lumber attd doo.s in America is the Wheeler, Osgood Company of Tacoma, Washington, who are successfully marketing this materiaf in its virious forms. This company has experimented for some time with Philippine Hardwoods; and thev have developed the best and most economical methods of iinishing this-wood, which mus-t b-e treated differently than many" other hardwoods, to obtain a rich, handsome finish.
