Yes violaine, that is so very very true, Kakawate lumber ( if there are still any ) or wood is a very sought after kind of wood which is best also for furnitures, tables, drawers and cabinet finishes.
Ang pagka kahoy niya ay napaka tigas, sumusuka ang anay dito, if you have noticed in orchid farms, they use kakawate trunks to attache their orchids and other soiless flowering plants plus napaka ganda ng natural shape ng kakawate. Hindi sya kapitin ng anay sa sobrang tigas. :yikes:

Another factor is that when it is purchased in its natural form with its swirling trunks and thick branches, it can be made into a very beautiful, exotic looking and very unique kind of furniture, benches or coffee table or dining table like the one in the link you showed. Only sad thing here is that this kind of tree are being harvested young for the purpose only as orchid stumps. People in the provinces have not learned how to maximize its potencial use.

Another thing here is that its grain or haspe is also similar to Narra or other hard wood when milled, ay grabe ang ganda nakaka laglag ng panty sa ganda, at napaka smooth or kinis ng finished wood, para kang nag hihimas ng salamin. :p

HHHMMMMM, that reminds me to spread some more kakawate seedlings around the property as addition to Narras and Mahogany and Neem trees. 😀

@ violaine

I have the pics already of the Kakawate trees and will be posting them on another thread. The photos of the
Kakawate tree or madre de cacao does not belong to this thread, baka ma OT tayo ni Admin.

Thanks.
