Advantages of ash: The cut surface of ash is smooth, the viscosity of the paint is very good, and it is suitable for dry climates. The performance in processing is also very good, and in terms of shock and compression resistance, it also has high performance, elasticity and toughness, so it is very textured as a large piece of furniture.

Disadvantages of ash: the disadvantages of ash are determined by the performance of the wood itself, in the case of dryness, ash is easy to warp, as a large furniture, but the deformation and shrinkage are large.

3. Poplar. Poplar is a kind of wood that is most widely used in furniture as a solid wood wood, and it is also a kind of wood commonly used in the north, which is stable in nature and inexpensive.

Introduction of solid wood furniture

Solid wood furniture refers to pure solid wood furniture, that is, all materials are natural materials that have not been reprocessed, and furniture made of no wood-based panels is used. Solid wood home has pure solid wood furniture and imitation solid wood family furniture.

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.

Solid wood panels** will vary depending on the wood species, so choose according to your budget and pay attention to the environmental level.

There are the following types of wood commonly used in solid wood furniture:

2. White pine: the material is light and soft, elastic, the structure is fine and uniform, the dryness is good, the water resistance, the corrosion resistance, the processing, finishing, coloring and cementation are good. White pine has higher strength than Korean pine.

3. Birch: the material is slightly heavy and hard, the structure is fine, the strength is high, and the processability, finishing and gluing are good.

4. Paulownia: The material is very light and soft, the structure is coarse, the cutting water surface is not smooth, the dryness is good, and it is not warped

5. Basswood: the material is slightly light and soft, the structure is slightly fine, there is a silk luster, it is not easy to crack, and the processing, finishing, coloring and cementation are good. It is not resistant to corrosion and slightly warped when dry.

6. Ash: The material is slightly heavy and hard, the pattern is beautiful, the structure is coarse, easy to process, the toughness is large, the finishing and gluing properties are good, and the dryness is average.

7. Elm: beautiful pattern, coarse structure, good workability, finishing, gluing, poor dryness, easy cracking and warping.

8. Oak wood: hard material, coarse structure, high strength, difficult processing, good coloring and finishing, poor glue, easy to dry and crack.

9. Beech wood: hard material, straight texture, fine structure, wear-resistant, shiny and shiny, not easy to deform when dry, processing, finishing, and gluing.

10. Maple wood: moderate weight, fine structure, easy processing, smooth cutting surface, good finishing and gluing, and warping when drying.

11. Camphor wood: moderate weight, fine structure, aroma, not easy to deform when drying, good processing, finishing and gluing.

12. Willow wood: moderate material, slightly rough structure, easy processing, good gluing and finishing performance. Slight cracking and warping when drying. Plywood made from willow wood is called Philippine board.

13. Rosewood: hard material, residual texture, medium structure, corrosion resistance, not easy to dry, smooth cutting surface, good finishing and gluing.
