Abstract: This research was conducted with the hope of supporting the development of Industrial Plantation Forests, because this wood is likely to be recommended as raw material for pulp and paper. The purpose of this study was to obtain a description of the structure and properties of Pterygota indica wood, as well as measurements of fiber dimensions from the base to the tip of the tree. The other objective is to determine the physical properties of wood, namely specific gravity, wood chemistry which is located at the base to the tip of the tree, the wood at the base to the tip of the deciduous tree, as well as Pterygota indica wood, which has different structures and wood properties. If we obtain data on some of the structures and properties of Pterygota indica wood, it is hoped that we can determine its suitability as a raw material for the pulp industry. Implementation this study used the ASTM D 1103–60 method/guideline (Anon, 2019). The results of this study indicate that Pterygota indica wood can be used as a raw material for the pulp and paper industry, and can also be used as carpentry wood or plywood, because this wood has a level/class of durable wood III.
Key words: wood structure, wood properties, Pterygota indica.
