What kind of wood is good for furniture, and what are the types of furniture wood

At present, the main types of furniture wood in the domestic solid wood furniture market are: mahogany, teak, walnut, ash, elm, maple, birch, beech, camphor, pine, poplar, fir, etc.

The following is a list of woods commonly used for furniture:

1. The biggest advantage of ashluxin is that its texture is beautiful and clear, which is suitable for modern and simple style. The disadvantage of ash is that it is easy to deform, so the main frame of ash solid wood furniture is basically ash solid wood, and the rest of the ash wood is spliced with small pieces of ash wood.

2. Beech wood is hard and has a beautiful texture, and there is a saying of "North Elm and South Beech" in ancient China, which refers to the use of elm wood for furniture in the north and beech wood for furniture in the south, which can be used as the main material for beds, tables and cabinets.

3. Fir is characterized by uniform structure, moderate strength, insect resistance and rot resistance. It has two main disadvantages: the internal fibers are loose, and the moisture content is high, the surface hardness is soft, and it is easy to cause scratches; The second disadvantage is that there are many scars, so the price is the cheapest.

4. In solid wood furniture, pine furniture occupies a considerable amount, especially children's furniture, which is mostly made of pine. It is characterized by a hard texture and a clear grain, and compared with fir wood, the wood grain of Pinus sylvestris sylvestris will be more beautiful, and there will be fewer scars.

5. Elm wood is not easy to deform, the hardness and strength are moderate, the planing surface is smooth, and it is suitable for carving. The furniture made of elm wood has a rough texture and a simple style, and at present, Chinese furniture is mostly made of elm.

6. Oak is characterized by hardness, straight texture, coarse structure, elegant color, beautiful texture, wear resistance, and the disadvantage is that it is not easy to dry and saw, and it is easy to deform when used in a large area. Therefore, the so-called oak furniture is actually made of oak wood finger jointed boards.

The price of solid wood panels will vary depending on the wood species, so choose according to your budget, and also pay attention to the environmental level.
