Hi, indian123!
Your sentences are confusing because 'rubber', 'wood', and 'mixed wood' are three different materials.
I have seen rubber that has been manufactured to look like wood... but I have never seen 'rubber wood'.

Try to rewrite the sentences and see what you can come up with! :)

Hi,
Its "rubber wood" from tropical origin.
My problem is with "of".
Is "of" required in this sentence?
[FONT=&quot]"Material of handle can be of rubber wood or mixed wood[/FONT]"
