So I’ve been trying to ID a species of lumber I’ve gotten imported from the Philippines but the dealer cannot give me a formal name … He says the people in the Philippines call it “dangai”. I’ve attached a couple pictures and see if you can ID this for me …Im left scratching my head. The reason I got it is because it’s a reddish colored wood….it sounds like a afzelia species. It DOES secret an oil/sap through the pores as shown in the one picture..the wood looks like it has wet spots. Any help is appreciated.
I posted a couple pics directly to this comment also.

It’s also a very lustrous wood – superior to Narra.

Different tastes. Warmer or brighter tones most likely.

I’m just curious as to why the Hohner harmonica co. uses it, I’m sure it has to do with tone, and durability, though not positive what the exact reason. They use bamboo, and pear wood also, so just curious what the reasons are, if anyone knows…..

The “ray cell” within its burl is the focus. And of course, the price of Afzelia burl is same to or even higher than Amboyna.
