General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
- Sawn timber used for interior carpentry, furniture, and veneer.
- Fuelwood and charcoal for domestic heating and small‑scale industry.
- Fresh foliage fed to ruminants as high‑protein green fodder.
- Live trees employed as shade in coffee, cacao, and mixed‑crop agroforestry.
Industrial and craft applications:
- The soft, lightweight wood is easily machined into panels, cabinets, and small wooden objects.
- Bark is processed into a brown natural dye and provides a source of tannins for leather tanning.
Wood and fiber:
- Heartwood is pale yellow to reddish brown with a straight grain and fine texture. The wood has a moderate density and moderate hardness, allowing easy cutting, gluing, and finishing.
- The bark contains tannins that bind to leather and impart color to protein fibers.
Colorants and tanning:
- Bark yields a natural brown dye used historically for wool, silk, and other protein fibers.
- The tannin extract is employed in leather tanning to achieve a soft, durable finish.
Properties relevant to use:
- Low density and modest hardness make the timber suitable for low‑load interior structures and decorative applications.
- Tannins present in the bark provide strong binding capacity for leather and yield a stable brown dye.
- The wood’s low shrinkage upon drying reduces warping, facilitating precise machining.
Standards and regulation:
- Sawn timber from Erythrina subumbrans is graded under national standards for tropical hardwoods, such as the Philippine National Standard for Sawn Hardwood.
Sustainability and sourcing:
- Erythrina subumbrans is native to the Philippines, Borneo, Sumatra and other parts of Southeast Asia, where it is cultivated in mixed agroforestry systems.
- It is classified as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List and regenerates readily from seed or coppice.
- Harvesting typically involves selective removal of mature individuals, allowing natural regeneration and maintaining canopy cover.
- Sawn timber complies with national grading standards for tropical hardwoods, ensuring consistent quality for trade.
