Want to know the difference between solid wood and log for furniture

A log is a whole block or a section of unprocessed wood, i.e. unprocessed timber after harvesting. Generally speaking, logs refer to the wood segments that are cut according to a certain size, shape and quality standards, and this wood segment is called logs.

Log furniture refers to furniture made of pure solid wood raw materials, only brushed with varnish and some basic waxing protection, and no longer deeply processed. This kind of furniture can reveal the original natural wood grain texture, look like there is no decoration carving, reflect the original style of the log, express the meaning of returning to the basics and returning to nature, so it is called log furniture.

Now solid wood furniture is divided into the following three categories: log furniture, full (pure) solid wood furniture, imitation solid wood furniture.

Most of us think of solid wood and logs as a concept. This is very incorrect.

1. Log furniture: All the materials used in the furniture are processed from natural wood, and do not contain any formalistic man-made panels.

Its advantage lies in the use of natural wood, which is closer to nature in appearance, and is durable and environmentally friendly.

Its disadvantages are that 1, the price is relatively expensive, 2, due to the material properties of the wood itself, it is determined that it will have a little cracking and deformation (different tree species, the degree of cracking is different, and some do not crack).

Second, the whole (pure) solid wood furniture: is the majority of manufacturers in order to reduce production costs, is a new type of process, to we are familiar with ash: the practice is as follows: ash logs fir wood core (or other solid wood materials) ash veneer.

Its advantages are: compared with log furniture, the production generation is reduced, and most of its materials are solid wood materials, which is one of the most environmentally friendly furniture.

Its disadvantages are: the process has a certain degree of difficulty, and the amount of glue used is more than that of log furniture, and there are certain requirements for tree species.

3. Imitation solid wood furniture: also known as board and wood combined furniture: from the appearance, it is solid wood furniture, the natural texture, feel and color of the wood are exactly the same as all solid wood furniture, but in fact, it is a mixture of solid wood and wood-based board furniture, that is, the frame is made of solid wood, and the side panels, bottoms, tops, shelves and other parts are decorated with surface-decorated wood-based panels.

At present, most of the solid wood furniture sold on the market is a combination of board and wood furniture.

In the furniture industry, there is an unwritten rule: a solid wood content of more than 30% can be called solid wood furniture. This 30% content must include the frame, load-bearing part.

If the solid wood content is more than 30%, but the frame and load-bearing parts are not all solid wood, it cannot be called solid wood furniture.

Let's understand it this way. Solid wood can be processed from a variety of log materials, and the material is made of logs. It can be very varied. And the log is the wood from which it is the raw material.

Most of us think of solid wood and logs in our view of the source.

Bai is a general idea, that is, in furniture

The materials used are all from natural wood. This is a misconception that is easy to be exploited by merchants. In fact, solid wood furniture and log wood furniture are not the same concept. ‍‍

The advantage of solid wood furniture is that it reflects nature: natural texture, changeable forms (such as curved surfaces, carvings), and because less glue is used, the environmental performance is higher than that of panel furniture. However, solid wood furniture also has obvious drawbacks:

When making the load-bearing part of furniture, if it is made into thin plates, such as side panels and frames, it is easier to change; In addition, the stability of wood depends on the change of moisture content, solid wood furniture will be affected by the surrounding environment and change the moisture content of the factory, and the change of moisture content will lead to deformation and cracking.

Log furniture refers to the use of natural trees as raw materials, the production and design structure pay attention to the simple, strong and durable. The surface processing and protection of the workpiece are also relatively simple, such as brushing varnish, waxing protection, etc., and strive to maintain the inherent texture of the original wood or reflect the real texture revealed after the wood is cut vertically and horizontally, reflect the original style of wood, and express the meaning of returning to nature and returning to nature, so it is called log furniture.

Logs are wood that has not yet been processed, and if it cannot be used, it is cut from a tree, and can it be used as furniture? After the log is processed, it is solid wood!

Solid wood: Furniture will have a layer of bark attached to it.

Log: It is the material and texture of the wood itself.

The concept, classification and difference between log furniture and solid wood furniture.

Log furniture refers to the use of natural trees as raw materials, production and design.

The structure of the plan is simple and simple, strong and durable. The surface processing and protection of the workpiece are also relatively simple, such as brushing varnish, waxing protection, etc., and strive to maintain the inherent texture of the original wood or reflect the real texture revealed after the wood is cut vertically and horizontally, reflect the original style of wood, and express the meaning of returning to nature and returning to nature, so it is called log furniture.
