What kind of wood is good for household solid wood furniture?

1. Pine (Pinus massoniana and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolia) Due to the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, solid wood furniture began to increase slowly, among which pine furniture accounted for a large part, especially children's furniture. There are two main materials for pine furniture, one is Pinus massoniana and the other is Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is the main raw material of decorative man-made fiberboard. The texture of Pinus massoniana is straight or uneven, and its structure is medium and thick. The disadvantage is that it cracks seriously when it is dry. Not resistant to decay. Poor performance of paints and adhesives. Nail grip is strong, and it is relatively rarely used as woodworking board in furniture. The price of joinery board is generally about 3 times that of Chinese fir integrated board or large core board with the same specification. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is widely used as the material of mid-range solid wood furniture, and many log furniture are made of pine. Pine has a stronger texture and better wood. Compared with Chinese fir, the wood grain of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Mongolian yurts will be more beautiful and have fewer wooden scars.

2. The largest proportion of Fraxinus mandshurica decorative board is Fraxinus mandshurica board, which is inseparable from its characteristics. Fraxinus mandshurica, a kind of wood of Fraxinus in Oleaceae, is mainly produced in northeast China, north China, Russian and other places. The biggest advantage of Fraxinus mandshurica is its beautiful and clear lines, such as being used as decorative boards or furniture. The disadvantage is that if it is solid wood furniture, the deformation is large, so if Fraxinus mandshurica is all solid wood, it should be spliced with small pieces of wood. Most of the Fraxinus mandshurica furniture seen in furniture stores is made of Fraxinus mandshurica solid wood as the main frame, and most of the areas are covered with Fraxinus mandshurica solid wood skin, which is because Fraxinus mandshurica has large deformation and contraction.

3. Oak (white oak, red oak) Oak is also a kind of decorative wood that everyone likes. Oak is a common name. The scientific name of true oak is oak, which belongs to FAGACEAE and Quercus. Red oak is called red oak and white oak is called white oak. In fact, the red oak is not really red, but the wood yellow is a little pink, and the white oak is not white, but pale yellow, which makes the color difference between the white oak in the red oak not very big. Elegant color, beautiful texture, high mechanical strength and wear resistance, but wood is not easy to dry and cut off. At the same time, if widely used, oak grain has the difference between straight grain and horizontal grain, and the straight grain is better and the price is slightly more expensive. Pay attention to the use of oak. Many rubber trees in Southeast Asia pass off as oak, so pay attention to buying wood and furniture. For rubber wood, the identification method is that rubber wood has a smell, which is easy to be eaten by insects and corroded.

4. camphor wood

Its biggest feature is its strong fragrance, which can repel insects, prevent moth, prevent mildew and sterilize. Mothballs are made of spices extracted from camphor trees. The diameter of the tree is large, the width of the wood is wide and the pattern is beautiful. Cinnamomum camphora has delicate wood, beautiful natural texture, tough texture and is not easy to break. It has been the first choice of carving technology since ancient times. Camphor wood is mainly used in furniture backboards and drawer boards in decoration, especially suitcases, book boxes and cabinets. China's camphor box is famous at home and abroad. However, camphor wood is rarely used as a bed, because the fragrance of camphor wood will affect the quality of sleep, make people excited or even insomnia, and may also cause dizziness, general weakness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

5. Elm "elm knot in one's heart" means that people don't understand it and it is difficult to give it up. From this word, we can see some properties of elm. Ulmus pumila has a wide width and excellent texture. Small deformation rate, tough wood, clear texture, moderate hardness and strength, suitable for carving, smooth plane, beautiful chord pattern, and "chicken wing wood" pattern, which can be used for furniture and decoration. Elm furniture is rough in texture and simple in style. Moreover, elm is cost-effective. A China antique all-elm log dining table includes 6 chairs, which costs about 3,000-4,000 yuan.

6. Beech, also known as eucalyptus, is produced in southern China. Wood materials are strong and beautiful, and can be used as buildings and utensils. There are many kinds of Zelkova schneideriana, and its central substance is reddish brown, so it is named "Blood Zelkova". Some beech tree patterns are natural and beautiful, and the color is similar to rosewood. In ancient China, there was a saying that there were elms in the north and beech trees in the south, which meant that elms were mainly used for furniture in the north and beech trees were used for furniture in the south. Therefore, elm and beech used to be excellent materials for making furniture, which can be used as beds, tables and cabinets. Beech can also be used as decorative board, and red beech decorative board is used by many people.

7. Walnut Walnut, commonly known as walnut, is one of the precious wood that people like in the world. Especially in European countries, walnut, mahogany and oak are called the three precious woods. These kinds of wood are mostly used in high-grade European furniture, but in China, walnut is not as prominent as in Europe. Walnut has moderate to slightly hard and heavy hardness, fine and uniform fiber structure, strong toughness, especially excellent impact resistance and wear resistance, and has certain bending resistance and corrosion resistance. There are two kinds of domestic walnut trees: walnut and Juglans mandshurica. Walnut furniture is almost unique to Shanxi. Although there are some in other areas, they are not as excellent as those in Shanxi. Walnuts seen in the south are generally imported, and the prices of walnuts produced in different places are very different. Everyone should look at them clearly.

8. The word mahogany originated in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, in order to distinguish traditional mahogany from yellow gorgeous furniture, hardwood imported from Southeast Asia with crimson heartwood was called mahogany. In modern times, China combined the traditional wood of Ming and Qing Dynasties with the commonly used dark wood imported from abroad, and re-established the mahogany standard. The new national standard stipulates that 33 kinds of wood belonging to 2 families, 5 genera, 8 categories are called mahogany. They are all classified as redwoods because they combine the attributes, textures, uses and social recognition of wood.

9. Chinese fir is the cheapest wood you can touch. It is a unique fast-growing commercial timber tree species in China, characterized by fast growth, good material, straight grain, uniform structure, light and tough material, moderate strength, fragrant Chinese fir, wood containing "cedar brain", insect resistance and corrosion resistance, and easy processing. Chinese fir belongs to cork, which has two main disadvantages. One is that Chinese fir is a fast-growing wood, with a maturity of 4-6 years, fast timber production, loose natural wood fibers, soft surface due to high moisture content, and easy to be scratched by external forces. The second disadvantage is that there are many scars, and there is a black scar every short distance. Therefore, Chinese fir is generally less used to make furniture, but used to make paper pulp, blockboard, density board, particleboard, keel, or finger-jointed board as furniture inner baffle.
