NARRA WOOD - Legal ba?

[boybi]

teak, mahogany

yakal, gihu - prone to cracking mga ito. Sa hamba ng pinto pa lang, tuloy tuloy ang paglabas ng mahahabang linya (cracks).

Depende siguro sa pagkatuyo. Alam ko gihu yung door frames namin, almost 14yrs na house namin and wala pa naman cracks.

bawal pero may paraan...all our furniture are made of narra. everything was custom made sizes, I had it made in our province up north and had it delivered it here hhmmm... if you really want narra furniture you can have it...in fact 2-3 years ago we had ship narra furniture to the US for my cousin's house....

I will tell you a secret we used to be in the logging business...

Kung yung Narra nasa sash factory na at dun ginagawa ang mga design at orders, wala sigurong illegal dun. Pero yung mga planks na tina-transport, usually hinuhuli sa highway yan. Bawal na kasing magputol nyan.

Karamihan ng mga Narra, galing sa north, especially from Isabela.

tagadiyan ako

yan ang sikreto ng ex-gobernador namin

[meledson]

confiscated illegal lumber by DENR ay binebenta ng DENR. originally illegal na nagiging legal.

ok naman ibang woods, dapat maganda lang ang treatment/seasoning to prevent cracking.

Sa Lagro QC daming sash factory ng Narra furnitures na made to order. Daming display along Quirino Highway near San Lorenzo Hospital, meron din sa Lagro loob. Yung mga gawa nila doon nila inuukit at walang varnish yung mga naka display para makilatis ng buyers yung wood.

I heard na mas mura ngayon ang Narra furnitures sa Nueva Ecija according to my friend who was in a trucking business.

Meron ako pina quote 10 seater dinning table and chairs made of kamagong, na sa P185,000. Narra almost the same daw

Ingat lang sa pagbili ng narra dito sa manila, meron isang type ng wood n mukhang narra, amoy narra pero fake pati yun may red-red na color sa narra ganun din.

The name of that wood escape me right now.

ang mahal na pala ngayon, i remember we bought our small dining set back in the 80's for less than 5K. the chairs have been reupholstered i dont know how many times pero the table itself still look and feels brand new.
