2 Introduction The role of community forest as a source of woody material (forest products) is becoming more and more important. Various commercial as well as lesser used species are growing on the forest. Popohan (Buchanania arborescens (BL) BL) is one of the lesser used tree species found relatively a lot in the community forest but it is valued low. This is because the information related to the properties of the wood is still limited.

3 Objective The objective of this study is to collect information related to the properties of the wood in the stem of popohan trees and its variability.

4 Local & Botanical Name Popohan has various local name: Sparrow s mango (England) ; Cha muang and Luaet khwai (Thailand) Rengas laut (Malaysia) Divisio Sub Divisio Kelas Ordo Famili Genus Spesies : Spermatopyta : Angiospermae : Dicotyledoneae : Sapindales : Anarcadiaceae : Buchanania : Buchanania arborescens (BL) BL

5 Material & Method Trees of Popohan were obtained from the community forest in Wonolopo, Sanden, Jetis, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta province Located at 07 o 44'04" - 08 o 00'27 South and 110 o 12'34" o 31'08 East. Soil type : regosol Altitude: m a.s.l

6 aterial & Method Three healthy trees of popohan were firstly measured its girth at breast height and then felled. After felling the trees were then measured its height, and the free branch stem of the trees were then divided into three parts i.e bottom, middle, and top. Cell proportion, cell dimensions, physical and mechanical properties of the woodwere observed at each part as well as at different radial position of the stem. Physical and mechanical properties of the wood in each part of the stem were measured according to British Standard 373: Physical properties were measured continuously from pith to bark while mechanical were measured at three different radial position of the stem i.e near the pith, between pith and bark, Height and ( near the bark. Canopy DBH ( m) ( m) cm) Tree No Free Branch Height ( m)

7 Materials and Methods Mechanical Properties Free branch boles were bucked into three parts i.e. bottom, middle and top. All physical and mechanical properties were conducted following British Standard BS 373 in the air-dry condition. Physical Properties
