Rubber Wood

Description :

Rubberwood is a light-colored medium-density tropical hardwood obtained from the Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), usually from trees grown in rubber plantations. Rubberwood is commonly advertised as an "environmentally friendly" wood, as it makes use of plantation trees that have already served a useful function.



Color/Appearance:

Heartwood naturally a light blonde to medium tan color, sometimes with medium brown streaks. Sapwood not distinct from heartwood. Color tends to darken slightly with age. Frequently colored or stained when used in furniture construction.

Grain | Texture:

Grain is straight, with a somewhat coarse, open texture. Low natural luster.

Odor:

Rubberwood has an unpleasant sour odor while being worked, especially when green, which subsides upon drying.

Common Uses:

Furniture, cabinetry, interior millwork, kitchen woodenware (cutting boards, knife blocks, etc.), and other small, specialty wood items.
