Many people buy furniture will consider the choice of solid wood furniture, because solid wood furniture can always give people a more texture, more environmentally friendly, more durable feeling.
According to the proportion and technology of solid wood materials, there are three types of solid wood furniture: solid wood furniture, solid wood furniture, and wood veneer furniture.
Full solid wood furniture refers to furniture made of solid wood sawn timber for all wooden parts (except mirror pallets and bead strips). It requires high technology and materials and is relatively expensive.
Solid wood furniture means that the base material is made of solid wood sawn wood or solid wood, and the surface is not covered with furniture.
Solid wood veneer furniture refers to the use of solid wood sawn wood or solid wood board material, and the surface of solid wood veneer or veneer (wood veneer) furniture, this furniture is low cost, so the price is relatively cheap.
Therefore, although the differences among them are quite large, they are still marked with solid wood furniture. This kind of solid wood furniture is not cheated, but if you buy the veneer at the price of solid wood furniture or solid wood furniture, you are cheated and become a big man.
In addition to the types of solid wood furniture to distinguish clearly, what wood, what features have to do a good job in advance Raiders.
There are many types of wood that can be processed into solid wood furniture. There are high-end teak and black walnuts, among which there are cherry, ash, white oak, red oak, walnut, oak, maple, yellow pineapple, and low-grade rubber. Wood, camphorwood, pine, fir. It is necessary to purchase suitable solid wood furniture to understand the performance characteristics of some commonly used wood. Let's look at Xiaobian
American Red Oak - American red oak
Distribution area and availability
Widely distributed in various parts of the eastern United States, oak is the most abundant species in the Eastern Broadleaf forest. There are more red oaks than white oaks. There are many varieties of red oak, of which about 8 are commercial species. Large supply of sawn timbers and veneers in various grades and specifications. According to the growing area and market supply, it is divided into northern red oak and southern red oak.
General introduction
The sapwood of red oak is white to light brown and the heartwood is usually pinkish brown. The appearance of red oak is similar to that of white oak, but the pattern is less pronounced than that of white oak due to the finer pith ray and more tube holes in the cross grain structure. The vast majority of red oak is straight grained and has a thick wood structure.
Physical and mechanical properties
Red oak is hard and heavy, with medium flexural strength and rigidity, high breaking strength, and excellent steam bending properties.
Durability
The heartwood has little anti-corruption ability and the antiseptic treatment is of moderate difficulty.
The main purpose
Building materials, furniture, flooring, architectural interiors, joinery, stairs and mouldings, doors, cabinets, panelling and eucalyptus. Not suitable for tight cuffs.
American ash - American ash
Distribution area and availability
Various regions of the eastern United States. Sawn timber and veneer are easily available. Sawn timber is often divided into northern ash and southern ash according to growing area and market supply. Sometimes it is divided into white ash (sapwood) and brown ash (heartwood) for sale according to the color of the wood. There are many commercial subspecies in American ash, and there are many types and specifications of sawn timber and veneer.
General introduction
The appearance of American ash is similar to that of European ash, and the sapwood is slightly pale in color. The color of the heartwood is from brown to light brown and changes to light yellow with brown stripes. This kind of wood is usually straight and straight, and the wood structure is thick and even. The degree and availability of light-colored sapwood and other properties vary by place of production. For example, southern ash sawn timber has a higher proportion of sapwood due to its faster growth, but the proportion of white is higher, but the structure and texture of wood are coarser compared to northern ash.
Physical and mechanical properties
From the performance to weight ratio, ash has excellent mechanical properties, good impact toughness, and is suitable for steam bending.

American Liriodendron - American tulipwood
Distribution area and availability
The eastern United States is widely distributed. Sawn lumber of various standard thicknesses can be widely supplied. Sawn timber and veneer supply is extremely abundant. Liriodendron chinense is one of the most grown tree species in the United States. It can provide specifications of very large width and length with relatively few festivals. This tree species accounts for 9% of the resources of the American hardwood forest, ensuring a continuous and substantial supply of the export market.
General introduction
The sapwood of Liriodendron chinense is milky white and may contain fringes of heartwood. It is light yellow-brown to olive-green. The olive green of the heartwood darkens and turns brown when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. The wood structure is medium to fine and straight grained. The size and some physical properties of the sapwood will vary from place of origin.
This wood has many desirable properties and is suitable for a variety of important applications. Liriodendron is not a Populus, but it has superior properties, but the shape of the Liriodendron tree resembles that of the European poplar, so it is called the boxwood in the United States.
Physical and mechanical properties
Liriodendron has moderate density, bending strength, impact toughness, rigidity and compressive strength, and moderate steam bending performance. In terms of weight ratio, Liriodendron is a very strong material, so it is an ideal material for laminated beams and other structural designs.
Durability
Not resistant to corrosion, the heartwood is moderately difficult to preserve, and sapwood can penetrate. The adsorption properties of Liriodendron sinensis means that it has the ideal potential for preservation. The latest European research confirms that conventional or novel antiseptic procedures are very effective for Liriodendron tulipifera.

In the export of sawn timber, the higher grades are also limited, mainly supplying thin materials.
General introduction
Walnut is an important tree species in the eastern broad-leaved forest. From the botany it is divided into two categories: pure walnut and hickory (which can be fruitful). The wood of the two types of trees is essentially the same and is usually sold together. Walnut sapwood is white with brown shades; its heartwood is pale to brownish red. The texture of sapwood and heartwood is rough, and the texture is usually ruled, but it may also be wavy or irregular.
Physical and mechanical properties
The density and strength of walnut wood vary with the growth rate, and the value of purebred walnuts is usually higher than that of hickory. Walnut is known for its good strength and impact toughness, and it has excellent steam bending properties.
Durability
Walnut is a wood that is not resistant to decay and is difficult to preserve.
