Can someone, help with the difference between Rubber Wood, Particle Board, MDF & Natural Wood?
This article is identical to what I found here: http://www.oakplus.com/rubberwood.htm I am not faimler with wikipedia policies but perhaps someone could use archive.org to check which came 1st
I belive the bulk of this article is copied from a copyrighted source....http://web.archive.org/web/20010801183023/http://oakplus.com/rubberwood.htm
should it be delated?
What color is rubberwood?
Get Your Bean Out For Joe Mycroft And His BACKSCRATCHER! What wood does rubberwood most closely match in color- maple, cherry, mahogany,oak, or other. Please let me know, as I need to match a buffet to a cherry dining room set.
I just removed the {{copypaste}} tag and also added a bit about how Rubberwood is often used by manufactures by adding Wood finishing techniques to mimic many more expensive wood types, like oak, cherrywood, etc. The rubberwood I have recently seen (as in like shopping for a futon frame as of 12/07) was buff (color) like this Buff - #F0DC82 Good luck, rkmlai (talk) 19:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Removed Period
I removed this sentenced because not informative. Misunderstood in which sense? By whom? Which misconceptions are invoked? by whom? "Rubberwood is often misunderstood as a species of wood utilized in the furniture industry. The name of rubberwood itself invokes a variety of misconceptions as to its features and to its durability. "--Dia^ (talk) 14:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Commercial advertisment
I attached a merge tag as this is not a notable wood, as such things go; the tree is hugely important, with the wood merely a by-product.
Actually the wood seems to be becoming popular for furniture so it is notable. (That's why I looked it up). This article could be cleaned up- it seems repetitive and unorganized.
It is interesting that this article (made by a user who only contributed this one item) started as a copy-and-paste from a commercial page and that some hours after I removed the false commercial claims it was reverted back to the commercial advertisement (by an IP-address that is listed as having made no edit other than this). A very good illustration of how Wikipedia is a platform for special interests? - Ibbel (talk) 12:10, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Article needs verifiable information
I agree with the gist of the above comments. Lots of unsourced claims about rubberwood here, all of them positive. I'll try to find some more authoritative information over the next few weeks. I do think it is probably worth having a separate article for the wood, provided that we can improve it. If the article can't be improved upon, however, I'd support deleting and merging with the tree. --Daveyjchicago (talk) 18:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC) get your bean out wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.130.33 (talk) 10:30, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Quite the stilted view of Rubberwood
Whoever wrote this last iteration is obviously biased against rubberwood for whatever reason. The information provided is also questionable at best. Yoder (talk) 22:05, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Took out biased phrasing and information.

The information in this article was not writing in a strictly factual manner. The information carried a blatantly biased tone and a casual dialect not suitable for an encyclopedia. I have henceforth deleted much of the article and provided a new url link. Kimberlykl2009 (talk) 04:14, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

In agreement about the decidedly biased and casual nature of this entry!!
I am in agreement with the previous posting that, in fact, there is a decidedly biased and casual tone to the entire citation which implies that the author is not contributing a balanced and accurate representation of the qualities of Rubberwood. There is little, if any information referencing the more positive aspects of the wood. Such as the following:
Rubber plantations produce latex to make natural rubber. After 25-30 years it is no longer economical to produce latex and the trees are harvested and replanted. The wood of the rubbertree is very useful : beautiful light-coloured texture, suitable strength, low shrinkage and excellent machining properties. Rubberwood has become very popular and is one of the best timbers for making staircases, furniture and building products,... In short : everything which can be made in solid wood. Main advantages of rubberwood : - excellent stability : ideal for laminated squares and panels - excellent machining properties : sawing, boring, turning, ... - light colour : easy to finish in any color
A more detailed review of the qualities, both favourable and otherwise, are outlined in the following online document:
I believe that it is possible to make 'factual' statements which carry overtones of bias just in the way the statements are phrased. I don't think that there is any doubt in the reader's mind who takes a moment to reflect, that the author's intent is to malign the importation and use of this wood over that of native hardwoods. Nobody is arguing that there are finer medium hardwoods out there, just take care to represent the subject of your entry in a more scholarly manner -- this is supposed to be an encyclopedia after all. --Loupgarou62 (talk) 21:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
"Rubberwood’s favourable woodworking and timber properties make this medium-dense timber (air-dry density 560–650 kg m-3 Lee 1982) suitable for a wide scope of applications. It can be easily steam-bent, or stained to resemble any other timber, depending on consumer demand. Its favourable qualities and light colour make it a good substitute for ramin (Gonystylus bancanus Baill.), a timber known for its quality in furniture making and other applications."
"Due to lack of durability, rubberwood was rarely used as utility timber except in timber-scarce countries. After a number of problems had been overcome with the help of applied research, particularly in connection with wood seasoning and preservation but also related to the small size of logs, rubberwood developed as one of the most successful export timbers of Southeast Asia."
The wood, sometimes also called parawood, is very susceptible to decay and should be used only indoors. It tends to warp notably during drying.
Drying and Shrinkage: Air-dries rapidly; warp is severe unless stickers are closely spaced and the piles are weighted; should be dried under cover. Lumber requires chemical dipping to control blue stain and borer attack.
Durability: The timber is perishable and stains readily. Also highly susceptible to borer and termite attack as well as powder-post beetles.
Preservation: Reported to have satisfactory treatability; absorbs 7 pcf of preservative oils using a hot and cold bath system.
Merge with Para rubber tree?
What's the actual benefit of having rubberwood split out from Para rubber tree? Perhaps it should be merged, as a section called "Usage" (similar to teak and oak). Thoughts? - gambler1650 —Preceding undated comment added 21:
