Increase knowledge! Common furniture wood classification, too complete!

Currently suitable for furniture, decorative trees are ash, oak (white oak, red oak), rubber wood, pine, eucalyptus, walnut, teak, fir, camphor wood, eucalyptus, nanmu (jinnan), Cherry wood, maple, etc., which wood is good for solid wood furniture? The difference in furniture price, service life and decorative effect of different wood species is also very large. It is necessary to accurately identify the tree species, purchase suitable solid wood furniture, and understand the performance characteristics of some common woods.

Introduction to common wood species of solid wood furniture

1. Pine (Pinus massoniana, Pinus sylvestris). As environmental protection is increasingly valued, solid wood furniture is slowly increasing, of which pine furniture accounts for a large part, especially children's furniture is mostly pine. There are two main types of pine furniture, one is Pinus massoniana, the other is Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica, which is mainly composed of Pinus sylvestris. It is an important raw material for man-made fiberboard in decoration. Pinus massoniana texture is straight or oblique, and the structure is medium to thick. The disadvantage is that the cracking is more serious when dry. Not resistant to corrosion. Poor paint and adhesive properties. The nail holding power is relatively strong, and it is relatively less used as a woodworking board in furniture. The price of wood board is generally about 3 times that of the same size fir integrated board or large core board. Pinus sylvestris is widely used as a medium-grade solid wood furniture, and many log furniture are made of pine wood. The pine wood is strong, the texture is clear, and the wood is better. Compared with the Chinese fir, the wood grain of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica will be more beautiful, and the wood knot is less.

2, ash. The largest proportion used in the decorative panel is the ash panel. The reason for using this panel is that it is inseparable from its characteristics. The ash is known as ash, which belongs to the wood of the genus Oleaceae, the main producing area. For the northeast, north China, Russia and other places in China, the biggest advantage of ash is that its texture, the ash curve is beautiful and clear, such as as a veneer or furniture, brush varnish or white can maximize its beauty. The pattern is suitable for modern minimalist style, and the ash panel is also a low-priced veneer. The disadvantage is that if it is used as a solid wood furniture, the deformation is large, so if the ash is made of solid wood, it is often spliced ​​with small wooden blocks. The ash furniture that is seen in the furniture store is mostly the main frame of ash wood, and the large area is afflicted with ash wood, which is because of the large deformation and shrinkage of ash.

3. Oak (white oak, red oak). Oak is also a kind of decorative wood that everyone loves. Oak is a common name. The real oak is called eucalyptus, belonging to the family Fagaceae, genus, red oak called red numbness, white oak called white numbness, actually red oak. It's not really red, but the wood is yellowish pink, white oak is not white, but light yellow, which makes the red oak white oak color difference is not very large, the oak is characterized by heavy hard, straight texture, The structure is thick, the color is light and elegant, the texture is beautiful, the mechanical strength is quite high, and the wear resistance is good, but the wood is not easy to dry and saw and cut. At the same time, if the deformation is large in a large area, the oak pattern also has the difference between straight and horizontal stripes, and the straight lines are compared. Look good, the price is a bit more expensive. To pay attention to the use of oak, many use Southeast Asian rubber wood to impersonate oak, pay attention when buying wood and furniture. For rubber wood, the method of identification is rubber wood with odor, easy insects and corrosion.

4, camphor wood. Its biggest feature is rich in rich aroma, which can be used to deworm, mites, mold, and sterilize. Mothballs are made from spices in eucalyptus. The tree has a large diameter, a wide material and a beautiful pattern. The eucalyptus wood is fine and has a natural and beautiful texture. The texture is tough, not easy to break, and it is not easy to crack. It is the material of choice for the carving process since ancient times. In the decoration, the coffin is mainly used for the backboard and drawer board of furniture, especially the clothes box, book box, cabinet, etc. China's coffin box is famous both at home and abroad. But eucalyptus is less likely to make a bed, because the scent of eucalyptus can affect the quality of sleep, excitement and even insomnia, and may also cause dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

5, beech. "榆木疙瘩" is to describe people who do not open up, and it is difficult to solve the problem. From this word we can see some properties of eucalyptus, 榆 wood width is wide, texture is excellent in temperature; deformation rate is small, wood is tough, texture is clear, hardness and strength are moderate, suitable for engraving, smooth surface, chord pattern Beautiful, with "chicken wing wood" pattern, can be used for furniture, decoration, etc. The furniture made of eucalyptus is rough and rustic.

6, beech. Elm is also known as eucalyptus, which is produced in the south of China. The wood is firm and the texture is beautiful. It can be used for construction and utensils. There are many kinds of eucalyptus, the center material is reddish brown named "blood scorpion", and some eucalyptus has a natural beautiful large pattern, the color is similar to rosewood. In ancient China, there was a saying that "the northern part of the country was in the south", which means that the northern furniture is mainly made of eucalyptus, and the southern furniture is made of eucalyptus. Therefore, eucalyptus and eucalyptus are good materials for building furniture in the past, and can be used as beds, tables, cabinets, etc. Elm can also be used as a veneer, and many of the red enamel veneer panels are used for decoration.

7, walnut wood. Walnut wood, commonly known as walnut, is one of the most precious woods in the world. Especially in European countries, walnut, mahogany and oak are called three precious woods. High-end European furniture uses these kinds of wood, but in our country, the status of walnut is not as prominent as in Europe. The hardness of walnut is medium to slightly hard, the fiber structure is fine and uniform, and has strong toughness, especially in the aspects of anti-vibration and anti-wear, and has certain resistance to bending and corrosion. There are two kinds of walnut trees in China: walnut and walnut. The walnut furniture is almost unique to Shanxi. Although it is found in other areas, it is not as concentrated and so excellent in Shanxi. The walnut trees seen in the south are generally imported, and the price of walnuts produced in different places is very different. Everyone needs to see clearly.

8, mahogany. The word "redwood" comes from the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, in order to distinguish the traditional red sandalwood and huanghuali furniture, the hardwood of the deep red heartwood imported from Southeast Asia was called mahogany. In modern times, China combined the traditional materials of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In addition to the modern imported dark wood imported from abroad, the redwood standard was re-established. The new national standard stipulates that the wood of two families, five genera, eight classes and 33 species in the wood is called mahogany. The colors of these woods are not all red, such as the ebony and striped ebony wood of the persimmon family, and the wenge wood of the genus. The reason why they are classified in the mahogany is the combination of the performance, texture, use and social recognition of the wood.

9, fir. Fir is the cheapest wood that can be reached. It is a unique fast-growing commodity tree species in China. It is characterized by fast growth, good material, straight wood texture, uniform structure, light and tough material, moderate strength, and scent of fir. The material contains "Cymella", which can resist insects and rot. Easy to process. Chinese fir belongs to softwood. Its main disadvantages are two. One is because the Chinese fir is a fast-growing material. The mature period is 4-6 years. The production is rapid, the natural wood fiber is loose, and the moisture content is large. The surface hardness is soft, and the external force is easy to cause. The second drawback of scratches is that there is a lot of scars, and every other small distance there is a black knot. Therefore, fir is generally used less for furniture, but is used to make pulp, blockboard, MDF, particle board, keel, or an inner baffle made of finger joints for furniture.
