Sophora
Sophora wood (Styphnolobium japonicum) is a hardwood weighing about 700 kg/m3.
This page covers Sophora japonica, the Japanese pagoda tree or Chinese scholar tree, which Kew's Plants of the World Online now classifies as Styphnolobium japonicum, in the pea family, Fabaceae. Its native range is central and southern China. The Global Wood Density Database records a basic density (oven-dry mass divided by green volume) of about 0.59 to 0.68 g/cm3 in four records from China. That is the only published density figure we found; it is not the same measure as an air-dried weight. The weight shown on this page does not come from a published source. We have not found a published source for the working properties or durability of its wood.
