Rubberwood

About Rubberwood

Rubber Wood is sourced from the Rubber Tree, which is common to the forests of Malaysia and Thailand. Rubber Wood is used in the production of furniture because of its dense grain, attractive colour, minimal shrinkage, and acceptance of different finishes. It also boasts the reputation for being an "environmentally friendly" wood, as it makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing cycle. It is one of the more durable hardwood lumbers used in the manufacture of furniture. Rubber Wood has a dense grain character that is easily controlled in the kiln drying process. It has minimal shrinkage, which makes it one of the more stable construction materials available for furniture manufacturing.
