(The average dark red weighs 3400 pounds per mbO. The trees from which "Bataan" was sawn averaged 2A" to 60" in diameter, and the trunks of the trees often rose 80 to 100 feet before the first branches. "Bataan" was available in lengths up to 38' long. Stock not meeting the requirements for "Bataan" was sorted out and sold for purposes where close grain was not essential.

"Lamao" referred to light red Philippine mahogany taken from the botanical species of Bagtican, Almon and ll'hite Lauan and weighing 3600 pounds per mbf. (The average light red weighs 3300 pounds per mbf). And "Duali" was selected only from the PhiliPPine species of Polosapis.
