History: Named from the ""Akle"", a medium-sized deciduous tree, intolerant to shade, which is found in humid lowland forests of the Philippines. The wood is one of the best materials for cabinetmaking because of its color, good-grain quality, and durability. It is also used for gunstocks, carvings, sculpture, and musical instruments, as well as for interior finish, panels, and high-grade furniture."
