Album Info:
(DSC01438) Tindalo (Pahudia rhomboidea) - Akle, narra, ipil, and tindalo all belong to the legume family, which furnishes most of the valuable cabinet timbers. Akle is brownish in color and is an excellent wood for cabinet-making. It has many of the qualities of walnut and is more resistant to termites. Narra is reddish yellow to dark red. The yellow variety is more common and more readily obtainable than the red. For furniture and cabinetmaking and for door and window framing, narra is almost always the choice, although, for those who can afford the price, a still better wood is tindalo, a beautiful hard red wood that darkens with age. Tindalo keeps its shape remarkably well, and, like most members of the legume family, has a beautiful grain and is very durable. Another very popular wood is ipil. It is most commonly used for house posts on account of its great durability and strength. Before the practice became widespread of setting house posts on a concrete or stone foundation, ipil was one of the few woods that withstood the ravages of decay and termites. With the adoption of concrete foundations, even woods of moderate durability can be expected to last for many years.
