I want to make building blocks. What kind of wood should I choose?

Fluffy pine

Some low-end toys on the market. The raw materials of building block toys are relatively cheap, and the price of pine is not high. But if pine is used as the raw material of building block toys, the disadvantage is very obvious. Pine is yellowish in color, fluffy in texture, sensitive to external temperature and easy to expand and deform. Before processing, it will go through some manual processing, such as drying, degreasing, bleaching and other processes to make it more stable. However, in the actual toy manufacturing process, it is still prone to scar deformation and other phenomena. The market price of pine is about 700- 1300 yuan /m3.

Schima superba

Wooden children's toy Trojans are hard, light gray, straight, durable, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant. Suitable for floors, high-grade furniture, interior decoration, etc. Some low-end building blocks will use this kind of wood. The market price of Schima superba is several hundred yuan higher than that of pine. Smooth birch

Birch is light brown to reddish brown, with delicate, soft, smooth and elastic structure, easy to crack and warp when drying, not wear-resistant, good machinability, smooth section, good painting and gluing performance, and is generally used for high-end toys. The price is two or three times higher than that of pine.

Soft beech

Generally, some manufacturers in the middle and high-end market will choose beech as the raw material for building blocks and toys. Compared with the above three materials, beech has more obvious weight and greater hardness. Its texture is clear, the texture is even and the color is softer. It is also often used to make middle and high-grade furniture products.

High-end oak

Need to remind consumers that rubber wood and oak are two different kinds of wood. Rubber trees can produce rubber when they are young, but when they are old, they can't shed that precious liquid. It is used to make furniture and other wood products, and the decadent body can hardly stop the heavy responsibility. Oak has obvious texture, rock texture, good hand feeling, smooth section, good adhesion to paint and painting performance, and the highest price can reach tens of thousands. Real high-end toys will choose this material to make wooden children's toys.
