Rubberwood has been found to have suitable properties for furniture manufacture, but the timber is limited to short lengths only. It is estimated that by 1983 Rubberwood would contribute up to 20;of the logs supply from the forests. The present supply of the timber in the country is not consistent as the sawmillers would rather export the timber when the export price is high. The quality of the timber varies and there is a need for standard grading rules to reduce the variability. Rubberwood 220216
