Rubber wood?

I saw some tables in Target made of something called rubber wood. Can
anyone tell me about rubber wood? Is it local? Hard or soft? full of
sap? TIA Chuck B.

Also known as "Parawood"; use that keywood for a DAGS also.

It's the wood from the rubber trees AFTER they no longer effectively produce
the "latex" required for making rubber! We have a table made from it-harder
than pine, not as hard as oak--probably similar to the hardness of maple!
