very numerous and equidistant; when first cut it is of 
a bright colour but fades when dry. 
The wood is very difficult to saw owing to the 
amount of resin it contains but it works and polishes 
well. Pradoo is an excellent wood for pavement of floors 
and Railway carriages as it does not shrink. Further it 
may be used for door panels, furnitures and interior de- 
corations. It is very good for bridge timber and sleepers. 
In America it is largely used for building Pullman cars. 
The weight is 880 kg. per cbm. P. = 571. The 
value of the export of Pradoo in Bangkok during 1903 
amounted to Ticals 66,932. It has always been largely 
exported to China.
