The findings will be used to design effective marketing strategies for the species, thereby increasing the viability of livelihoods based on sustainable timber harvesting in community forests of Kilwa, Tanzania. The aims of the study were to: (1) determine the physical and woodworking properties of each LPW; (2) identify similar, widely traded, species for which they could be used as substitutes; and (3) investigate the requirements of key timber market sectors into which each species can be suitably positioned. The study comprised two stages. Firstly, secondary data was compiled to identify the appropriate sectors in which to establish the five LPW in the marketplace. Secondly, samples were distributed to gather feedback from potential buyers. There is definitely potential for the LPW to be sold into Western markets, where ethical concerns are comparatively high. Sample recipients showed immediate interest in panga panga, East African padauk, and pod mahogany, which have significant prospects in the flooring, musical instrument, decking, construction, household and consumer good, luxury furniture, and high quality window and door sectors. African lignum vitae shows strong potential for introduction into the decking and flooring industries. For all of the LPW, it will be critical to ensure that consistently high quality timber is harvested, prepared and exported to manufacturers in a timely manner. p. 3 Markets for five timber species found in community forests in Tanzania 1. INTRODUCTION This report details the potential international markets for five Locally Prized Woods (LPW; Table 1) that are commonly found in south-east Tanzania. They are thus significant potential revenue earners for forest managers there who can meet international standards, especially on the ethical dimension. Table 1: The Locally Prized Woods (LPW) included in the study. Scientific name Swahili name Proposed trade name* Known trade alternatives Millettia stuhlmannii Mpangapanga Panga panga Wenge (Millettia laurentii) African padauk (Pterocarpus Pterocarpus angolensis Mninga East African padauk soyauxii) Acacia nigrescens Msenjele African lignum vitae None Afzelia and Doussie (Afzelia Afzelia quanzensis Mkongo Pod mahogany spp. from West Africa) Julbernardia globiflora Mtondoro Mtondoro None * Hereafter, the LPW species are referred to by their proposed trade names. 2. METHODOLOGY The five LPW were analysed in respect to: structural characteristics, woodworking qualities, and current uses and markets (for the species themselves, along with their trade alternatives; Table 1). They were compared with similar internationally-traded tropical and temperate hardwoods to identify opportunities for positioning them in ten market sectors (see Appendix 1 for definitions of these): Musical instruments Flooring Boats and yachts Window frames and doors Furniture Marine and freshwater applications Household and consumer goods Sawn wood Construction Veneers A variety of sources (including timber trade and wood research online databases and search facilities, industry organisations, and internet searches using Google; Appendix 2) were used to investigate the known commercial uses, trade prices, and volumes of the LPW and/or alternatives, as well as to compile a database of potential distributors. 3. PHYSICAL & WOODWORKING PROPERTIES All of the LPW have high density, moderate hardness (except African lignum vitae, one of the top ten hardest species worldwide) and high bending strength (the value for this is unknown for African lignum vitae; Table 2). In addition, with mostly straight or interlocked grain and medium-coarse texture, they are all at least moderately durable and therefore suited to hard-wearing, long-lasting functions. p. 4 Markets for five timber species found in community forests in Tanzania Table 2: Physical and woodworking properties of the Locally Prized Woods (LPW).

These were grouped into three categories: light (density: 500-700 kg/m3), medium (700-900 kg/m3) and heavy (900+ kg/m3) hardwoods. 3.1.1 Light hardwoods East African padauk is similar to sapele and iroko in terms of density and hardness (Figure 1). Nonetheless, African padauk is commonly used as an alternative in industry, despite being significantly harder and denser (Figure 2). p. 5 Markets for five timber species found in community forests in Tanzania Figure 1: Comparison of light hardwood (500-700 kg/m3) species (a) density and hardness, and (b) durability, machining and stability. 3.1.2 Medium hardwoods Panga panga is similar to wenge, bubinga and Macassar ebony in terms of density, hardness and stability (Figure 2). Pod mahogany shares the most properties with merbau, doussie and bubinga, which are similar in density and hardness. Mtondoro is most alike wenge, bubinga and Macassar ebony in these respects. Figure 2: Comparison of medium hardwood (700-900 kg/m3) species (a) density and hardness, and (b) durability, machining and stability. p. 6 Markets for five timber species found in community forests in Tanzania 3.1.3 Heavy Hardwoods African lignum vitae is most similar to ipȇ, greenheart, lignum vitae, and cumaru (Figure 3). Figure 3: Comparison of medium hardwood (900+ kg/m3) species (a) density and hardness, and (b) durability, machining and stability.

What can I say, just keep shoveling! So much for a mild win- ter. As most of you are aware, the February meeting was canceled because of weath- er. If you didn't get the email notice, I apologize. It may have gone out on an older mailing list. So that being a situa- tion, if you need to send info out to club members, make sure you have the latest list. You can get it from Randy. If you have bowls yet for "Feed My People " please contact me at [email protected] and I will get them from you. Each of you who are signed up to do a demo at a club meeting, please just move your demo forward one month. If that can't work, let me know. We are always looking for new ideas for demos for club meetings. If you would like a demonstration on a given area of wood turning, let me know and we will try to get in in the schedule. For those of you who like to turn natural edge bowls, now is the time to cut the trees before the sap starts to flow. The bark is less likely to loosen. Obviously because on no meeting this month our letter will be somewhat shorter. I give Tom credit for his creativity in making it informative, Thanks Tom ! Well again as Bugs Bunny sez, "That's all folks" Prez Duane.

Most are seen 8 to 12 feet tall with a beautiful array of multiple trunks and a rounded canopy much like that of a mature crape-myrtle. The one to two-inch-long, leathery, dark green leaves are joined at many times throughout the year by the production of large clusters of bluish purple flowers, the old flowers fading to a light silvery-blue and creating a shimmering haze over the rounded canopy. These flowers are followed by small, heart-shaped, yellow orange berries, appearing on the tree at the same time as the bluish purple flowers and creating a lovely sight.

  • Is Guaiacum Sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? an Ethnobotany
    Is Guaiacum sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? An Ethnobotany Case by Eric Ribbens, Barbra Burdett, and Angela Green Department of Biological Science Western Illinois University Part I—Anecdotal Evidence Dr. Beth Tonoany is a tropical population ecologist who has been studying an unusual tree, Guaiacum sanctum, which once grew throughout the dry tropical forests of Central America as well as on some of the Caribbean islands. Guaiacum sanctum produces a wood called lignum vitae, and is known in Costa Rica and other Spanish-speaking countries as guayacan reál. The wood is extremely heavy because it contains extensive deposits of resin (Howes, 1949) and it will sink if placed in water (Wilson and Eisner, 1968). During World War I and II it was extensively harvested for use in the ship-building industry because the wood, which does not split easily, is self- lubricating due to its high resin content. The wood is very durable, and was in high demand for constructing bearing sleeves to support ship propellor Figure 1: Seeds of shafts (Scurlock, 1987). It has also been used for making railroad ties Guaiacum sanctum (Woods, 1951). Dr. Tonoany has been studying one of the last remaining populations of lignum vitae in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve in northwestern Costa Rica. Probably fewer than 100 trees remain in Costa Rica, most in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve. Her research has included tracking seedlings and saplings, locating and measuring adult trees, and interviewing some of the local Ticos to learn about the tree’s past history in Costa Rica. The tree, while rare now due to the dramatic conversion of tropical deciduous forest in Costa Rica into pasturelands and to selective logging of the tree for its valuable wood, was once more common, and many of the older Ticos remember that the saplings were used to make cattle switches because of the strong flexible wood in the saplings.

The assessment includes a baseline for each variable followed by a discussion on impacts on the physical, natural, human and social environments. However, since the drilling is taking place in an elevated area on St. George’s Hill, in Zone V, which was evacuated after the 1995 eruption and has remained a restricted area, there are limited human and environmental impacts expected from the drilling of MON-3. Most of the vegetation is secondary forest and scrub. No sensitive or endangered flora and fauna are at risk. The hillside vegetation was once covered in ash. The Belham Valley forms a low lying area north of St. George’s Hill. This has been heavily inundated with volcano muds left over from lahars. Importantly, the drill site was selected not only for its geothermal potential, but also because it’s elevated provides protection from lava flows which may arise from future eruptions.

    NDF WORKSHOP CASE STUDIES WG 1 – Trees CASE STUDY 7 Guaiacum sanctum Country – MEXICO Original language – English NON-DETRIMENT FINDINGS REPORT ON GUAIACUM SANCTUM IN MEXICO AUTHORS: Leonel López-Toledo David F.R.P. Burslem Miguel Martínez-Ramos Alejandra García-Naranjo I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE TAXA 1. BIOLOGICAL DATA 1.1. Scientific and common names Guaiacum sanctum, Linnaeus (1753). Most authors identify four or six species in the genus Guaiacum. Four different synonyms have been recognized for G. sanctum: 1.Guaiacum multijugum Stokes (1812). 2.Guaiacum guatemalense Planch. ex Vail & Rydberg likely to be an hybrid between G. sanctum and G. coulteri (Porter 1972). 3. Guaiacum sloanei Shuttl. ex A. Gray (Gray 1897, Vail & Rydberg 1910). 4.Guaiacum verticale Orteg. (Gray 1897, Vail & Rydberg 1910). Guaiacum sanctum is commonly called lignum vitae in English, and guayacan or palo santo in Spanish. Guaiacum coulteri, a very similar species to G. sanctum, is also called guayacan or lignum vitae. 1.2. Distribution Guaiacum sanctum is found in Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the United States (Florida), Costa Rica, Guatemala, Bahamas, Haiti, Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Turks & Caicos Islands. In some of these countries, G. sanctum has become endangered or is virtually extinct. The Mexican populations cover a greater portion of the species’ natural range than those in any other country. There is no data available for the global population. However, a worldwide analysis of the tropical dry forest estimated a remaining range of 131,087 km2 for North and Central America including Mexico. In general this coincides with presence information of G.

  • Turning Threads in Wood -- It's Easier Than You Think
    Turning Threads In Wood -- It's Easier Than You Think David Gould I first became interested in thread chasing while watching the Mike Mahoney video “Hollow Forms And Urns – A Workshop”, in which Mike threaded a disk of boxwood that became a collar insert for an urn, into which a blackwood finial was later threaded. When I spent a week in Mike’s workshop in Provo, Utah, last December, I pressed him to include thread chasing among the projects we would attempt. We wound up tackling thread chasing on our last afternoon and never got around to making inserts. We simply covered making inside and outside threads. Tonight, the demonstration will cover the basics and some additional projects that can be accomplished using these skills. Materials: Good threading can only be accomplished on woods that are dense, dry, stable and close grained. Most of the native woods we are accustomed to working with (Maple, Black Walnut, Cherry, Box Elder and others) are not suitable for thread chasing as they are too soft or too brittle. Woods that are good for threading: Boxwood Lignum Vitae African Blackwood Pink Ivory Osage Orange There are other exotic woods that thread well but the above are the more well known. There are synthetic materials that can be used for practice: Corian Resin blanks (pen) The wood used must be dry so that there is no later movement which would result in threads that would bind. Specific Gravity: The measure of the “denseness” of wood is its Specific Gravity. Specific Gravity is the comparison of the weight of a cubic foot of water at sea level (which is 62.4 lbs/cu.ft.) to the weight of a cubic foot of wood.

This has led to many of the tropical forests viable alternative in many of WWF’s priority places. being plundered for these highly prized species. Even in forests where there are good levels of forest management, there is a risk of a shift in species composition Markets are hard to change, as buyers from consumer countries often aren’t in natural forest stands. This over-exploitation can also dissuade many forest willing to switch from purchasing the traditional species which they know do managers from obtaining Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for the job for the products that they are used in, and for which there is already their concessions, as many of these high value species are rarely available in a healthy market.
