In English it is sometimes known as calamander, as Castelli said.</p><p>The Indian Coromandel Coast is called after the trees, which were sought after by the Dutch who occupied the Cormandel Coast for a while. The wood was used in a lot of Dutch furniture of the 17th-19th century. And many Balinese statues were carved from coromandel wood between ca 1950 and 1980.</p><p>Bahulor wood was used for 1930s-40s Balinese carvings, it has a reddish tone and doesn&#039;t have this strong colour banding.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another species which looks very much like coromandel. Someone else on the forum found it. I will do some digging.</p><p>Ca 1980 coromandel was protected by Indonesian law. But since this little lady is probably made from a different species, no problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
