Balayong (wood of a cherry tree) or Cassia Javanica is a hardwood of incredible luminosity. It is hard to believe that the extremely polished, reddish-brown looking wood is not varnished. Today, the wood is mainly processed into valuable veneer wood. It is rare to find old furniture from the Spanish colonial period made from this wonderful wood. The weight is moderate, but not too light. The breaking strength is good, as is the hardness.
