Which is more suitable for northern families to use maple or nanmu as furniture

What are the characteristics of various solid wood furniture?

Take oak, ash, pine, birch, elm, beech as examples.

First of all, if the furniture is solid wood, then it is almost the same in terms of environmental protection, regardless of the material of wood. But the point is that you have to confirm that it is solid wood, and don't be fooled by the manufacturer.

The quality of the wood is not necessarily related to the price.

Some timber is expensive because it is produced in less volume, or because it is imported. For example, ash, furniture at home is generally not willing to use. Why?

Because that thing loves to deform too much, it's not easy to handle as furniture. Now that ash is not allowed to be cut down in China, all of it is imported from Eastern Europe and Russia, which is expensive. But I still don't think ashlush is a good wood for furniture.

If a manufacturer says that he is 100% ash logs, not veneer or knuckleboard, then his wood treatment level is a huge cow, the cost is also high, such a furniture style is not good-looking, the selling price is expensive, you basically can't find it.

Oak: It is the most popular furniture wood in North America, and the reason why it is expensive is because of imports. The larger and better woods produced in North America are walnut and cherry.

It is reported that oak is oak in our country, and the better one is the green oak, if you can find it, it is very good. Also, don't be fooled by rubberwood.

Pine: softer, with a harder polyurethane paint is good, pine and red pine are better than white pine.

Birch: The wood grain is delicate and beautiful, and it is harder than pine. It's just that birch furniture is hard to find, are you sure you can find it?

Elm: The pattern of elm furniture is rough and heavy, and the wood is hard and durable. Elm furniture is very beautiful and durable.

However, the deformation of the new elm wood is too serious, and it is constantly deformed for a long time, so in the past, the countryside did not use elm wood to make furniture, but used to chop wood for fire. If you want to make furniture, you need to use old elm, such as the wood of the old house, and after decades, the deformation problem is not big. In recent years, elm furniture has become popular, and the price is not expensive, consumers can take a look, but they need to be sure that it is old elm.

For drier woods, use that one for those with strong growth.
