Pffft, that ship has sailed. The uprising has been quelled and the ringleaders now serve as our slaves (*Peel me another grape will you, Sven?*)

Yeah. We're having an intellectual discussion about the properties of wood.

 

[Antarctican]

Specifically hardwood. Although talk of rubber corks came up...given the definition of hardwood, I guess a rubbertree would be a softwood? And, well, what's the use in that?

Apparently losing foliage is optional for tropical woods. Having broad leaves is sufficient so Rubber trees are hardwoods. The timber is used in top end furniture. It has tight grain, doesn't shrink much and is easy to work.
It's also seen as environmentally friendly as when the tree has come to the end of it's latex production it can be sold for timber and the ground replanted.

I forgot that it just needs some keywords and a thread is picked up

 

[Antarctican]

And of the many posted so far, which ones do you identify as 'key'?

 

[Alex_B]

I do not share all my secrets you know

 

[Hertz van Rental]

That usually translates as: I don't have a clue but I'm taking the credit.

 

[Alex_B]

that is a cheap trick HvR ... but me not stoopid!

Woha, the thread goes into round 3 ...

 

[Hertz van Rental]

[Alex_B]
