Can anyone help with the words "Maai bpra duu" and "Maai bpra yoong" (????????? & ?????????)?

They're types of wood generally used for furniture but I can't seem to find any English translations anywhere, so I'm wondering if they're from trees indigenous to Thailand. www.thai-language.com was of some help with "dtohn bpra duu" which translates as Pterocarpus cambodianus or Crudia chrysantha. But I was hoping there are actual English translations for these woods rather than Latin.

To confuse matters further, the spelling may actually be ????????? & ?????????. Any ideas?
