The variables measured were visual appearance and weight loss percentage of wood based on longitudinal and cross section fiber directions of rubber wood and sengon wood. Measurement of oven dry weight loss of wood samples performed after 12 weeks incubation. Replication performed was 10 times at each treatment combination. The results based on SNI 01.72072006, weight loss value of H. brasiliensis and P. falcataria wood with fiber direction longitudinal were 23,12 and 22,25 respectively and cross section were 20,77 and 18,76 respectively, and all were classified to resistance class IV (no resistance). The results based on JIS K 15712004, weight loss value of both woods with fiber direction cross section were 10,95 and 14,20 respectively. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 74, 2013</index> </article>
