What are the most common types of wood used in wood species?

When you walk into the furniture mall, when the Purchasing Guide constantly introduces you to the furniture wood, you are not at a loss. In fact, before you go to the furniture market to purchase furniture, proper understanding of the type of wood is also a very necessary thing. Understanding the types of wood is not a difficult task. The following small series introduces several types of wood that are most commonly used now.




Wood species 1. Redwood: The collective name of rare hardwood high-quality furniture since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Redwood has a long growth cycle, is full of mellow wood, smooth, oily, and beautiful in design. It is a precious wood, but it is also expensive.

Wood species 2, yellow pear: a unique treasure tree species. The wood is shiny and has a spicy taste; the arts and crafts are oblique and staggered, and the structure is fine and uniform, and it is resistant to decay. Strong durability, hard material, high strength.



Wood species 3, rosewood: produced in subtropical areas, such as India and other Southeast Asian regions. China's Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi have a small amount of production. The wood has a glossy, scented, purple-brown color after long exposure to air, staggered arts and culture, dense structure, corrosion resistance, durability, material, heavy and delicate.

Wood species 4, rosewood: distributed in the tropical region of the world, the main producing areas in Southeast Asia and South America, Africa. China has introduced cultivation in Hainan, Yunnan and Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Material color is uniform, from light yellow to dark reddish brown, visible dark stripes, glossy, with a slight or significant light aroma, texture staggered, fine and uniform structure (South America, Africa slightly thicker) wear-resistant, durable, hard, heavy, High strength, usually floats on water. Southeast Asian rosewood is the best in Thailand, followed by Myanmar.



Wood species 5, rosewood: tropical, subtropical areas, the main producing areas for Southeast Asian countries. The color of wood is not uniform, the heartwood is orange, light reddish brown to dark brown, and dark texts are obvious. The wood is shiny, with a sour or sour aroma. The arts and sciences are diagonal and staggered, with high density, greasy, and hardwearing.

Wood species 6, chicken wing wood: distributed in the global subtropical region, the main producing areas in Southeast Asia and South America, because of similar "chicken wings" texture named. The texture is staggered, unclear, and the color is abrupt. The wood has no aroma, and the growth rings are not obvious.



advantage:
1) The color is darker, more antique style, used for traditional furniture.
2) The wood is heavier and gives people a feeling of good quality.
3) General wood itself has its own fragrance, especially sandalwood.
4) The material is hard, high strength, wear resistance, and good durability.



Disadvantages:

1) The output is relatively small, and it is difficult to have high-quality tree species with uneven quality.
2) The lines and rings are not clear and the visual effects are not fresh enough.
3) The material is heavy and not easy to handle.
4) The material is hard, the processing is difficult, and the phenomenon of cracking easily occurs.
5) The material is greasy and easily returned to oil at high temperatures.



Wood species 7、Oak: It is a eucalyptus genus, belonging to the genus Beech. The tree heart is yellow-brown to red-brown. The growth circle is obvious, slightly wavy, heavy and hard. There are Jilin in the north, Hainan in the south and Hainan in Yunnan Province in China. Distribution, but high-quality wood is rare, excellent oak still needs to be imported from abroad, excellent materials for nearly 10,000 yuan per cubic metre.

advantage:

1) It has a relatively clear Yamagata wood grain and the touch surface has a good texture.
2) Higher grades



Disadvantages:

1) The quality of species is relatively small, if imported, the price is higher.
2) It is difficult to remove water due to the hard texture
3) The phenomenon of using rubber wood instead of oak in the market is widespread, and if professional knowledge is insufficient, it can be easily deceived.



Wood species 8, rubber wood: native to Brazil, Malaysia, Thailand and so on. Domestically produced in Yunnan, Hainan and coastal areas, making latex raw materials. The color is light brown, the annual rings are obvious, the wheel circles are dark bands, and the tube holes are few. The wooden structure is thick and uniform. The texture is slanted and the wood is hard.

Advantages: smooth cut surface, easy gluing, good paint coating performance.

Disadvantages: rubber wood has odor, because of more sugar content, easy to change color, decay and insects. Not easy to dry, not wear, easy to crack, easy bending deformation, easy processing of wood, and the sheet metal processing easy deformation.



Wood species 9, Ash: mainly produced in Northeast China, North China and other places. Yellowish white or brownish yellow. The annual rings are obviously but not uniform, with thick wooden structures, straight textures, beautiful patterns, shiny, and high hardness. With elasticity, good toughness, wear resistance, moisture resistance and other characteristics. However, it is difficult to dry and warps easily. The processing performance is good but tearing should be prevented. Smooth surface, paint, better viscosity performance.

Wood species 10, eucalyptus: Commonly known as eucalyptus. Slow growth, long growth cycle (hundreds of years), fewer quality trees. Heavy, hard, slow growth, clear distinction between heartwood and sapwood. Straight or oblique texture, strong resistance to water and corrosion, processing is difficult, there are many processing defects, but the cut surface smooth, wear-resistant, high bonding requirements, paint coloring, finishing performance is good.
