A light wood, easily worked, but 

 is very liable to destruction by the 

 white ant. A resinous balsam and in- 

 cense is obtained from this tree. 



A resinous gum which is used for 

 making varnish is obtained from this 

 tree. After the resin has been ex- 

 tracted the wood is of little use as it 

 is destroyed by white auts. 



Logs can be obtained up to 75 feet 

 long. A close-grained wood used for 

 sea piling and all kinds of marine 

 work subject to attacks of the teredo. 



Produces logs 35 to 40 feet by 18 

 inches. Fine grain, dark color, very 

 strong, tough and elastic. Stronger 

 than teak and used for planking 

 ships and for furniture, where it is a 

 good substitute for Black Walnut. 



Wood dark red, strong, tough and 

 useful, requires thorough seasoning. 

 Much used for ship building and all 

 kinds of carpentry. Abundant. 



Wood yellow in color, easy to work; 

 it is used in boat building, for casks 

 and for general joiner's work; that 

 from Mindanao is closest-grained and 

 is considered the best. 



Yields logs 40 to 45 feet long by 18 

 inches compact, close-grained, used 

 for handles of axes and other tools, 

 useful for turning. 



Logs up to 60 feet long by 20 

 inches square. Wood brownish red 

 in color. Used in ship building, 

 marine construction, piling, etc., as 

 it is proof against the teredo. 



It is now not very plentiful unless 

 some of the unexplored forests many 

 yield fresh supply. 



A strong tough wood, not so heavy 

 as Molave; used in shipbuilding as 

 its oilv resin preserves iron bolts 

 driven into it. The natives extract a 

 balsam from it called Balsamo de 

 Maria and use it for medical pur- 

 poses. 



Wood reddish in color, close-grained 

 and compact, used to some extent in 

 joiner's work but is not very plenti- 

 ful. 



Wood yellowish white ; easily 

 worked ; used largely for interior 



Localities where found.
