Just a few facts will be illuminating. The main entrance, the entire first and mezzanine floors are finished in Tobasan mahogany which comes either from the south coast of Africa or the east coast of Mexico. Every piece is selected for its beauty of grain and harmony of color. It is the highest-priced lumber used for finishing. The remainder of the floors are red luan and old growth yellow fir, cut quartering, white enamel finished. The red luan comes from the Philippine Islands, be ing hauled to the mills by the water ox, a species of buffalo. To obtain the vertical grain desired, trees smaller than five to seven feet in diameter cannot be used, and this size requires a growth of over a hundred years. The older the tree the finer the grain. To prepare these woods for inside uses they must first be dried on sticks, then kiln dried for a week, assorted for grain and color, planed, veneered and worked to shape, sand papered, scraped and hand-finished.
