Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.), we all know, is the proud owner of the distinction "Tree of Life." The tree provides mankind with food, shelter, furniture, novelty items, fuelwood, household implements, and important industrial products.

This was brought about mainly by the ban on logging of Philippine forests. Compared with conventional lumber, coconut wood is more available and affordable. However, it is structurally unique and thus needs serious study and consideration.
