Tests show gubas and falcata school chairs can carry heavy loads
September 8, 2015
Contrary to expectation, school chairs made from falcata (Paraserianthes falcataria) and gubas (Endospermum peltatum) – which both produce light wood - have been found as strong as chairs made from lauan (Shorea species) – which yields moderately heavy wood.
This was the result of performance tests done on chairs fabricated forthe Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)- funded project “Sawmilling of Ten Million Board Feet of Logs and Flitches in Caraga for Use of the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Manufacture of School Desks and Chairs (Phase 2).”
