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.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.29.15.15 (talk) 18:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What color is rubberwood? 

message: 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)
thread_title: Removed Period

message: 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)
thread_title:  Article needs verifiable information 

message: Whoever wrote this last iteration is obviously biased against rubberwood for whatever reason.  The information provided is also questionable at best.

thread_title:  Quite the stilted view of Rubberwood 

message: 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 21:53, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

"Rubberwood utilisation was pioneered by Kingsley Tisseverasinghe of Sri Lanka (b.24/01/1927).[citation needed] Before his discovery of a feasible treatment process for the wood of the rubber tree, the tree was only used for tapping/ harvesting of the tree's sap. His technique has led to the widespread usage of rubberwood as a multipurpose lumber product."
It has all the hallmarks of a hoax, put in there to get the name of a person into an article.
