Hello all.
There is a wood called Nyatoh. When I lived in Indonesia I remembered something about this type of wood. Though not spelled "NATO," perhaps it is close enough.
Here is a link to a site about this type of wood in the furniture building context:

I hope that this little bit might shed some light. I didn't wan't to contribute unless I can "add" to the discussion.
Respectfully submitted.
