What kind of wood is good for the solid wood bed?

1, Juglans mandshurica, also known as Juglans mandshurica, namely Juglans mandshurica, Juglans mandshurica and Juglans mandshurica produced in the north.

Plant theme: Juglan-Daceae, English name Juglan-dacae.

Texture: hardwood, softer than oak (oak) and ash (ash).

Age: maturity is generally 60-80 years to hundreds of years.

Features: Very stable, strong plasticity and moderate hardness. Juglans mandshurica is a world-famous interior decoration material, and it is the first choice for making precision wooden musical instruments such as wooden brackets, musical instruments and rotary cutting techniques. It is the most stable tree species among all precious wood in Northeast China.

Reputation: the first of the three rare tree species in Northeast China, known as the "king of furniture in the world" in Europe.

Main uses:

One of the most common tree species appeared in the 2008 Olympic Games. Juglans mandshurica was used as a considerable part of the domestic "wooden branch" of shooting athletes in China Olympic Games. It is often used in high-grade car interior or high-grade home decoration, rifle butt, high-grade furniture and carving crafts.

Remarks: Catalpa bungeana, a walnut tree without long walnuts is called Catalpa bungeana. Because the plywood of Catalpa bungeana is over 40-60 years old, it is actually wrong to call it Catalpa bungeana in the market, because it must have grown walnuts. Fine pores are an important reason for the stability of Juglans mandshurica, and for this reason, Juglans mandshurica can relatively save the amount of pigment when painting.

2. oak, also known as oak, oak and white oak, is called oak in English.

Plant theme: FAGACEAE, English name Fagaceae

Texture: Hardwood, harder than most wood.

Age: maturity is generally 40-60 years to hundreds of years.

Features: the texture is extremely hard.

Reputation: American national tree is one of the most precious tree species except mahogany and golden teak, and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad.

Oak belongs to Quercus acutissima, belonging to the beech family. Its core is yellow-brown to reddish-brown, and its growth rings are obvious and slightly wavy. It is heavy and hard. It is distributed in China, Jilin and Liaoning in the north and Hainan and Yunnan in the south. However, high-quality oak still needs to be imported from abroad, and the price of oak furniture is nearly 10 thousand yuan per cubic meter.

Characteristics of oak furniture:

Advantages:

1) has obvious mountain-shaped wood grain, and the touch surface has a good texture.

2) high-grade, suitable for European furniture.

Disadvantages:

1) There are few high-quality tree species, and if imported, the price is higher.

2) Because oak is hard and heavy, it is difficult to remove water, and it takes a year and a half for furniture made without water to begin to deform.

3) The phenomenon that rubber wood replaces oak is widespread in the market. If customers lack professional knowledge, it will directly affect the interests of consumers.

Main uses:

Widely used to make veneer (decorative board); It is a special wood (called oak barrel) for holding red wine; It is one of the best solid wood flooring materials; In 2008 China Olympic Games, the solid wood floor of the weightlifting hall adopted our oak floor, that is, the oak floor. And making high-end furniture.

Remarks: Most of the oak trees seen in the market are from China. For example, red oak used for decorative panels is often boiled and dyed red, while white oak is often bleached and dyed white.

Note: There are many rubber wood solid wood furniture passing off as oak wood furniture in the market. Rubber wood and oak are completely different trees in terms of material, hardness, economic value and performance. Oak lives in the cold zone, rubber wood lives in the tropics, rubber wood is a tropical tree species, belonging to Euphorbiaceae (English name Euphor-biaceae), and it is one of the poor tree species in terms of hardness, material, texture and performance. Rubber tree is an old tree that produces rubber juice. It is cut down every 15-20 years and widely grows in central Yunnan, Hainan, Myanmar and other places.

1) is rich in sugar and easy to attract insects such as ants.

2) Because rubber juice is harmful to human body, rubber wood can only be used after chemical treatment, but unfortunately, most rubber wood on the market has not been chemically treated. )

3. Fraxinus mandshurica, also known as Fraxinus mandshurica, is also known as Fraxinus mandshurica among the people.

Plant theme: OLEACEAE, English name Oleaceae

Texture: Hardwood, softer than oak and harder than Juglans mandshurica.

Age: maturity is generally 40-60 years to hundreds of years.

Features: exquisite texture

Fame: Juglans mandshurica and pineapple are listed as three rare tree species in Northeast China.

Main uses:

Because of its beautiful texture, it is widely recognized by the market; Tree species commonly used by well-known domestic solid wood furniture manufacturers; Widely used for making veneer (decorative board).

Remarks: The pores are large and relatively easy to deform.

4. Yellow pineapple

Its wood has good luster, straight texture, rough structure, obviously uniform annual rings, soft material, easy drying, good processability, beautiful wood color and pattern, good paint and adhesive properties and is not easy to crack; Good corrosion resistance and other advantages, but because of its poor nail force, pineapple furniture often has shortcomings such as instability.

Main uses:

Medical, solid wood furniture.

5. Elm

Plant theme: ULMACEAE, English name Ulmaceae

Material: hardwood, close to Fraxinus mandshurica.

Age: maturity is generally 40-60 years to hundreds of years.

Features: rough texture and madness

Ming Sheng: It is one of the famous tree species in the northeast of China.

There are many kinds, such as elm and white elm. It's good to wear both kinds of elm, among which the thorn elm is the best. Elm is produced in the northeast, and it is rarely seen in the market. Some of the more expensive ones we see in the Beijing market are Huangyu and White. The wood grain of elm is more detailed and beautiful. Elm is not easy to deform and shrink as easily as Fraxinus mandshurica, so it is similar to Fraxinus mandshurica, maybe better. In addition, the cheaper elm furniture on the market is all elm wood, which is worse than elm wood, and its deformation and shrinkage are worse than elm wood. Most areas in Northeast China are dominated by white elm, so many northeast manchurian ash furniture are mixed with white elm. I learned from some furniture factories in Dalian that many furniture factories there produce elm, and then all of them declare ash. There is also a kind of elm, which is very black and called smelly elm, which is the worst.

Main uses:

Because of the rough wood floor, elm is often used to make "antique" solid wood furniture, and it is also often used to make informal solid wood furniture, reflecting its atmosphere and the spirit of being with the sky;

Note: The texture is similar to that of Fraxinus mandshurica, but it is rougher.

6.oak tree

Commonly known as oak. Heavy, hard, slow-growing, clear heartwood. The texture is straight or oblique, with strong water resistance and corrosion resistance, which is difficult to process, but the cutting surface is smooth and wear-resistant, which requires high adhesion and good paint coloring and finishing performance. Domestic furniture manufacturers mostly use oak as raw material.

Disadvantages of oak:

1) has slow growth, long growth cycle (hundreds of years) and few high-quality tree species.

2) The cementing requirements are very high, and the joints are easy to crack.

3) Processing is difficult and there are many processing defects.

7.maple

Maple is divided into soft maple and hard maple, belonging to temperate wood, which is produced from the south of the Yangtze River basin to Taiwan Province Province and abroad in the eastern United States. The wood is grayish brown to grayish red, the annual rings are not obvious, and the official holes are numerous, small and evenly distributed. The maple pattern is staggered, the structural kidney is thin and uniform, light and hard, and the pattern is excellent. Easy to process, the section is not smooth, and it is easy to warp when drying. The coating has good coating performance and strong adhesion. It is mainly used for pasting the thin surface of plate.

8. Birch

Birch rings are slightly obvious, the texture is straight and obvious, the material structure is delicate, soft and smooth, and the texture is soft or moderate. Birch is elastic, and its fiber has poor shear resistance, so it is easy to "cut off in the same crop". Wood is heavy, not rot-resistant, easy to crack and warp when it is dry, and not wear-resistant. Good processability, smooth cross section, good painting and gluing performance. It is often used in carved parts, but it is used less now. The notable feature is a number of "waterlines" (black lines). Birch is a mid-range wood, and both solid wood and veneer are common.

9.beech

Heavy, strong, impact resistant, easy to bend under steam, and can be made into various shapes. Nails have good properties, but they are easy to crack. It is unique to Jiangnan, with clear texture, uniform texture and soft and smooth timbre. It is heavier than most hardwoods and easy to crack when it is dried and processed in a kiln.

10, pine

Pine is a coniferous tree species (common coniferous tree species are pine, Chinese fir and cypress), which has the characteristics of pine fragrance, yellowish color, many boils, quick response to atmospheric temperature, easy expansion and extremely difficult natural air drying, so it needs manual treatment, such as drying, degreasing to remove organic matter, bleaching to unify tree color, neutralizing tree properties and making it difficult to deform.

Northeast pine

Botany: PINACEAE, English name Pinaceae

Texture: cork, hardwood pine

Age: mature 20-30 years old.

Features: beautiful color, soft texture, not easy to deform and crack.

Reputation: more widely accepted

Main uses: widely used as the material of mid-range solid wood furniture, and widely used in "children's room" by well-known manufacturers such as Ximengbao; The anticorrosive wood of outdoor materials is generally pine; B&Q building materials supermarket has northeast pine knuckles for sale.

There are many kinds of pine trees in Northeast China, including Korean pine (with long growth years, fine texture and red color) and white pine (with short growth years and thick texture). White pine includes many kinds. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolian pine, fish scale pine and cold sand are all northeast pine. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is easy to change color, and cold sand is one of the worst pine trees, which is useless at all.

New Zealand pine (Chile): yellow in color, straight in texture, easy to dry, small in deformation, medium in mechanical strength and good in processability, suitable for making furniture and various wood products.

Argentine pine: yellow in color, relatively high in density, easy to crack and obvious in color difference.

Brazilian pine (Uruguay): Yellow color, clear arts and sciences, medium mechanical strength, suitable for making furniture and various wood products.

Russian pine: It's the same product as Northeast pine, but the border is different, so if Russian pine is used, it doesn't need to be imported at all.

Remarks: Pine trees can also be divided into coniferous pine and broad-leaved pine. Northeast pine and Mongolian pine. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is a hardwood pine, which is a better pine. Both white pine and larch are coniferous pine, which can't be used for furniture generally, but suitable for earthworm.

1 1, camphor tree

It is found in all provinces in the south of the Yangtze River in China, but it is rich in Taiwan Province and Fujian, with large tree diameter, wide wood, beautiful patterns and strong fragrance, which can repel insects. It is often used to make cabinets, boxes, cupboards and other furniture to store clothes, which is its advantage; Disadvantages: Modern medicine has proved that the gas emitted by camphor wood contains organic components such as camphor, alkanes, phenols, olefins, camphor ether, etc., which has a stimulating effect on human gastrointestinal mucosa. Once inhaled, it will produce a water-soluble metabolite-camphor oxide. Therefore, putting camphor wood furniture in the bedroom will affect the quality of sleep, make people excited and even insomnia; The fragrant smell of camphor wood furniture may also cause dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms; Pregnant women who are exposed to camphor wood furniture for a long time are prone to miscarriage; Infants and young children will also have adverse reactions if they are stimulated by the smell of camphor wood for a long time.

elm

12, Chinese fir

Cork is a fast-growing wood with a maturity of 4-6 years. Because of its fast production speed, loose natural wood fiber and high water content, it can not be used as furniture. Generally, it is used to make pulp, blockboard, density board and particleboard, and some are made into finger-joint boards to make furniture inner baffles. On the basis of maintaining the original performance, the service life is less than 5 years.

The value of solid wood furniture depends not only on the wood it uses, but also on the following aspects:

1. Material: What kind of wood are the main materials and auxiliary materials? Different wood materials have different values, so the prices are naturally different.

2. The manufacturer's processing equipment and technical ability. Generally, large manufacturers handle wood well. The quality assurance of small workshops will be even worse. Even if the wood used in small workshops is genuine, the problem of warping and cracking may still occur in the future due to the problems of equipment and technology.

3. workmanship: everything is beautifully done outside, and the inner feel, smoothness and neatness of workmanship also reflect the quality of furniture.

4. Accessories: the quality of adhesive (glue) and paint, which is also the focus of environmental protection. The more environmentally friendly, the better.

5. Hardware: hinges, slide rails, handles, etc. There is also added value. Of course, the quality of big brands has been used for a long time

At present, Juglans mandshurica, oak and Fraxinus mandshurica are the main wood for making solid wood beds in the market. These Woods have strong nail grip, good flexibility, high surface hardness and good scratch-proof effect. The most important thing is that the cost is appropriate, which can be said to be better among all kinds of wood, which is why these wood are the main wood of solid wood beds now. The density of each kind of wood is different, and the price also has a certain gap. In fact, a lot of solid wood furniture is actually veneered, and only some load-bearing positions are solid wood. Choosing good solid wood furniture depends on his workmanship and whether the gaps are coordinated.
