Rubberwood is often the most misunderstood species of wood in the furniture industry. The name itself invokes a variety of misconceptions to its features and its durability. Also known as "white teak" or Para wood in Thailand, is the common name for the timber of Hevea brasiliensis.  It is also often referred to as Malaysian Oak because of its strength. Historically, the felled timber was used as firewood to fuel brick-making and tobacco-curing. Dramatic changes in world economy plus the occurrence of natural disasters in some parts of the world necessitated the need for alternative timbers.
