We use various types of furniture in our daily lives, and solid wood furniture is also quite common. So the question is, do you know what solid wood is? Below, let me introduce you to the conventional wood materials in solid wood furniture:

White oak

Hard and heavy, with moderate bending strength, poor rigidity, and excellent steam bending resistance. Southern white oak has a fast growth rate, wide growth rings, and harder and heavier wood. Heart wood has corrosion resistance, and anti-corrosion agents are extremely difficult to penetrate. White wood has moderate resistance to the penetration of anti-corrosion agents. USA: Easy to obtain, but the supply is not as high as red oak. Export: The supply of various quality and specifications of board and veneer is extremely abundant, making it the most important hardwood export product in the United States. Building materials, furniture, flooring, interior architectural design, outdoor carpentry products, molded products, doors, cabinets, paneling, sleepers, wooden bridges, wooden bars for wine barrels, coffins, and hanging barrels. Widely distributed in the eastern United States, the wood is hard and heavy, with good machining performance and slow drying; The color, texture, characteristics, and properties of red oak vary with the place of origin. Southern red oak grows faster than northern red oak, and the wood is harder and heavier. It is usually sold in the south and north according to the production area. Southern wood has a reddish color and color difference, making it suitable for darker painted products; Northern materials tend to have a light red and white color, and the color is uniform, making them suitable for light colored products. There is a large price difference between the north and south.

Red Oak

Manufacturing various types of furniture and cabinets is the most ideal. Wood is hard and tough, not too heavy, and easier to handle than other oak. The unique wood grain and excellent surface treatment performance are ideal for producing natural oil or same tone dyed products. Red oak components include solid wood, laminated wood, and veneer. Furniture manufacturers around the world use a large amount of red oak boards and veneers in their products, achieving exceptional results. The pink color and versatile features of red oak flooring are highly praised. It is hard and heavy, coupled with high fracture strength and strong seismic resistance, extremely resistant to wear and tear, making it the best flooring material for residential and commercial projects. Red oak solid wood flooring can be further polished and surface decorated, increasing its attractiveness and durability. The texture of red oak is usually vertical and rough, with excellent performance after mechanical processing. Although the effect of using nails and screws for fixation is good, it is recommended to drill holes first. After dyeing and polishing, it can create a beautiful surface. Red oak can provide wood that is slightly longer than the average length of other oak. These characteristics make red oak the most ideal material for fine woodworking products used in construction.

Fraxinus mandshurica

Clear texture in solid wood furniture has won the love of many people with its simple, rough line design and moderate pricing. What are the advantages and disadvantages of water chestnut furniture? Deciduous large tree, up to 30 meters high, with a diameter at breast height of over 1 meter; The bark is gray, and the bark of young trees is smooth, with longitudinal cracks of varying thickness after maturity; The small branches are slightly quadriangular, hairless, and have lenticels. The central area of Fraxinus mandshurica has a humid temperate monsoon climate, and the soil is meadow gray brown soil or forest soil developed on alluvial parent materials. Manchurian ash is mainly produced in Northeast and North China. Landscape use: Courtyard shade trees, roadside trees, and scenic forest water willows are made of tough materials with beautiful textures. They are deciduous trees that can reach up to 30 meters in height. They are precious tree species in Northeast and North China, and can be used to make various furniture, musical instruments, sports equipment, vehicles, machinery, and special building materials. At the same time, it has scientific significance for studying the Tertiary flora and the climate of the Quaternary glacial period. Belonging to broad-leaved trees, the material is hard, the texture is straight, and the pattern is beautiful. The wood segment has a larger diameter grade and is suitable for planing and rotary cutting processing. The radial cut surface presents beautiful parallel stripe patterns, while the half chord printed surface shows obvious and variable strip patterns. It is generally made of high-quality veneer materials, and is often planed into 0.8-1.0 millimeter thick slices (thin slices) as veneer materials in production. Manchurian ash is mainly produced in Northeast and North China. It is yellow white (sapwood) or slightly yellow brown (heartwood). The growth rings are obvious but uneven, with a coarse wooden structure, straight texture, beautiful patterns, luster, and high hardness. Water ash has the characteristics of elasticity, toughness, wear resistance, and moisture resistance. But it is difficult to dry and prone to warping. Good processing performance, but should prevent tearing. Smooth cut surface, painted, with good adhesion performance. Processing performance: The water chestnut has good processing performance and can be fixed well with nails, screws, and glue. It can be dyed and polished to achieve a good surface. Suitable for dry climates, with minimal aging and minimal performance changes. Physical properties: Compared to its weight, Fraxinus mandshurica has extremely good overall strength, good seismic resistance, and steam bending strength. Durability: Fraxinus mandshurica lacks the ability of heartwood to resist decay, while its white wood is susceptible to powdery beetles and common furniture beetles. Heart wood has moderate resistance to corrosion treatment agents, while white wood has permeability. Practicality: Good flooring and furniture materials. It can imitate precious wood species such as white yuan, oak, walnut, etc., and has extremely high usage value. Likes light, cold, and fertile and moist soil, grows quickly, has strong resistance to wind, water and humidity, has strong adaptability, and is more tolerant to salt and alkali. It grows vigorously on moist, fertile, and deep soil layers. Poor growth in swampy areas often leads to the formation of "small old trees" in arid and barren soil.

Radiation pine

Wood is a high-quality soft material with medium density, uniform structure, average shrinkage efficiency, and strong stability. Intact logs are free from problems such as decay, heart rot, and insect bites; Wood has good nail holding strength, strong permeability, and is extremely easy to prevent corrosion. It can be treated with drying, curing, and coloring.

Basswood wood

The material is slightly soft, the structure is slightly fine, and the processing, coating, and bonding properties are good. It is not corrosion-resistant and may slightly warp when dry.

Elm wood

Beautiful patterns, coarse structure, good processing, coating, and bonding properties, poor dryness, and easy cracking and warping.

Oak wood

The material is hard, the structure is coarse, the strength is high, and processing is difficult. It has good coloring and coating properties, poor adhesion, and is prone to drying and cracking.

Maple wood

Fine structure, easy processing, smooth cutting surface, good coating and bonding properties, and warping phenomenon when dry.
