Guys, where did you see na gawa sa Pinas yung Bacchus? any links? I have a feeling baka nagkatypo or baka yung wood lang ang ineexport natin..kasi kung may planta diyan ng mga for export japan..dapat may BUZZ yan...or nafefeature sa mga tv shows "finoy Prayd" shows...I tried googling Bacchus made in the Philippines..parang wala naman nilalabas..
I think Philippine Mahogany is Tanguile yata..pero not the same as US species
Philippine Mahogany is a term that refers to seven different species of wood from the Philippines. Tanguile, as well as luan (red or white) and Almon, et al, are all referred to as Philippine Mahogany. However, Philippine Mahogany isn't really a mahogany like the American or African species.
So yes, tanguile is the same as Philippine Mahogany. Which doesn't have the same working properties as true mahogany. It is more stringy and frays or splinters when crosscut. It's difficult to finish without filling and it's figure is somewhat bland when compared to real mahogany. Also, the "seven" woods of the philippine family are not particularly stable when exposed to changes in humidity.
Ngek..Philippine Alder pala! googled it pero hard to find good results ano ba tagalog sa ALDER?
