Rubberwood boards and sawn sizes
Rubberwood comes from rubber plantations in Kerala once the trees stop yielding latex. After chemical treatment and kiln-drying it is a pale, even-grained hardwood that machines and finishes well. We supply finger-joint and edge-glued boards and sawn sizes to furniture, kitchen and packing-case makers.
