content of Nibung trunk among 40-200%, density of nibung trunk between 0,15-0,67 cm3,
and the highest value of swelling three direction is in tangensial to radial and the lowers is
longitudinal (tangensial > radial > longitudinal). The result of density test was included in
class II (good) and can be base of tructural buid
