Origin furniture teaches you how to choose solid wood furniture such as beech, walnut, etc.

?? At present, the main types of furniture wood in the domestic solid wood furniture market:

?? 1 , mahogany (this is too expensive, the average family does not need to see growth knowledge got)
Red sandalwood: Produced in subtropical regions such as India and other Southeast Asian regions. China has a small amount of production in Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi. The wood is lustrous and has aroma. It turns purple reddish brown after a long exposure to the air. It is interlaced with arts and sciences, with dense structure, corrosion resistance, durability and hard and heavy materials.

?? 2, beech

?? Plant subject: 榆科, English name ULMACEAE

Texture: hardwood, close to ash

?? Age: The mature period is generally 40 - 60 years to hundreds of years

?? Features: rough texture

?? Fame: one of the more famous trees in Northeast China

?? Divided into a variety of, such as jaundice, hedgehog and so on. Two kinds of eucalyptus are not bad, and the hedgehog is the best. The hedgehog is produced in the northeast and has a small amount, so it is basically not seen on the market. Some of the more expensive ones we have seen in the Beijing market are Huang Wei and Bai Yu. The sassafras wood grain is more beautiful and beautiful. The jaundice is not very easy to deform, and it is not as easy to shrink as ash, so it is similar to ash, and may be slightly better. In addition, the cheaper eucalyptus furniture on the market is white, which is worse than jaundice, and the deformation and contraction is more powerful than jaundice. Most of the northeastern regions are dominated by white pelicans, so many ash ash furniture in the northeast are mixed with white enamel. I learned from some furniture factories in Dalian that many furniture factories there produce coffins and then declare all the ash. There is also a kind of eucalyptus, black and sloppy, the name of the soil is called skunk, which is the worst.

?? Main use:

?? Because the eucalyptus texture is rough, often used to make " antique " solid wood furniture, is also often used to make informal wood furniture, reflecting its atmosphere, and the same atmosphere;
Note: The texture is somewhat close to the ash, but it is rougher.

?? 3, walnut eucalyptus, also known as walnut eucalyptus, which is the production of walnut trees, walnuts, walnuts in the north.

?? Plant subjects: walnut family, English name JUGLAN - DACEAE

Texture: hardwood, softer than eucalyptus (oak), ash (ash)

?? Age: The mature period is generally 60 - 80 years to hundreds of years

?? Characteristics: very stable, strong plasticity, moderate hardness. Walnut is the world's most famous interior decoration material. It is the first choice for precision wood equipment such as wood pallets, instruments and chopping crafts. It is the most stable tree species in all the northeast precious woods.

?? fame: The first three northeast of valuable tree species, known as the "king of the world furniture capital" in Europe.
The main purpose:

?? The most frequent tree species appeared in the 2008 Olympic Games. The Chinese " wooden branch " of the Chinese Olympic shooting athletes has a large part of the wood used in the walnuts; it is often used in the interiors of high-end cars or in high-end home decoration. Accessories, sniper rifle butts, high-end furniture, carving crafts.

?? Note: Catalpa, no long walnut walnut tree is called catalpa, due to both 60 Manchurian walnut timber - more than 80 years old, so the market is called Manchurian walnut catalpa wood is actually wrong, because it certainly early Walnuts have grown. The fine pores are an important reason for the stability of the walnut stalks. At the same time, for this reason, the walnut enamel paint will also save the paint amount.

4 , oak, also known as eucalyptus, eucalyptus, white oak, the English name is oak
Plant Subject: Fagaceae, English name FAGACEAE
Texture: hardwood, harder than most wood
Tree age: the mature period is generally 40 - 60 years to hundreds of years
Characteristics: the texture is extremely hard
Fame: The American National Tree is one of the most precious species except the mahogany and golden silk teak.
Oak is a parasitic genus, belonging to the family of beech, the heart of the tree is yellow-brown to reddish brown, the growth wheel is obvious, slightly wavy, heavy and hard. It is distributed in the north of China, Jilin, Liaoning, Hainan and Yunnan, but the quality material is It is rare to see that excellent oak still needs to be imported from abroad, and the fine materials are nearly 10,000 yuan per cubic meter, which is also an important reason for the high price of oak furniture.
Characteristics of oak furniture:
advantage:
1 ) It has a distinctive mountain-shaped wood grain and has a good texture on the touch surface.
2 ) High grade, suitable for making European furniture
Disadvantages:
1 ) There are few high-quality tree species. If imported, the price is higher.
2 ) Due to the hard texture of the oak, it is more difficult to remove the water. The furniture made without the clean water began to deform after a year and a half.
3 ) The phenomenon of replacing oak with rubber wood in the market is widespread. If the customer's professional knowledge is insufficient, it directly affects the interests of consumers.
The main purpose:
Is widely used to make plywood (veneer); wine is filled with special wood (oak named); solid wood flooring is one of the best; weightlifting stadium of the 2008 Olympic Games in our country on the use of solid wood flooring Our beech flooring is also oak flooring. And making high-end furniture.

Remarks: Most of the oaks seen in the market are Chinese eucalyptus. The red oak used in the veneer is often dyed red after boiling. The white oak is often dyed white after bleaching.

Note: There are a lot of rubber wood solid wood furniture on the market posing as oak solid wood furniture. Rubber wood and oak are completely different from each other in terms of material, hardness, economic value and performance. They are completely different trees. Oak is living in the cold zone, rubber wood is living in the tropics, rubber wood is a tropical tree species, belonging to Euphorbiaceae (English name EUPHOR - BIACEAE ), no matter from hardness, material, texture, performance is one of the poorer trees, rubber wood is The aging trees that produce rubber juice are cut down every 15-20 years and widely grow in central Yunnan, Hainan, Myanmar and other places. There are two fatal weaknesses:
1 ) It is rich in sugar, it is easy to attract ants and other insects.
2 ) Because rubber juice is harmful to the human body, rubber wood must be chemically treated before it can be used, but unfortunately the rubber wood in the vast majority of the market has not been chemically treated.

It is a unique wood in Jiangnan with clear texture, uniform wood texture, soft and smooth color. It is heavier than most hardwoods and is prone to cracks during kiln drying and processing.

11 , pine
Pine is a kind of coniferous plant (common coniferous plants are pine, fir, cypress), which has the characteristics of pine scent, yellowish color, sputum, fast reflection to atmospheric temperature, easy swelling, and extremely difficult to dry naturally. Therefore, it needs to be manually treated, such as drying, degreasing to remove organic compounds, bleaching the uniform tree color, neutralizing the tree, making it difficult to deform.
Northeast pine
Plant subject: Songke , English name PINACEAE
Texture: cork, hardwood pine
Tree age: mature period is 20 years - 30 years
Features: beautiful color, soft texture, easy deformation and cracking
Reputation: more widely accepted

Main use: It is widely used as medium-grade solid wood furniture. It is widely used in " children's rooms " by famous manufacturers such as Ximengbao; the anti-corrosion wood for outdoor materials is generally pine; Bai'anju building materials supermarket has northeast pine finger joints for sale.

There are many types of pine in the northeast, such as red pine (longer growth period, finer texture, reddish color), white pine (slower growth period, thicker texture). White pine includes many types. Pinus sylvestris, pine scales and cold sand are all northeast pines. Pinus sylvestris is easy to change color, and cold sand is one of the worst quality pines. It has little use.
New Zealand pine (Chile): light yellow color, straight texture, easy to dry, small deformation, medium mechanical strength, good processing properties suitable for making furniture and various wood products.
Argentine pine: the color is yellowish, the density is relatively large, it is easy to crack, the color difference is obvious
Basil Pine (Uruguay): The color is yellowish, the culture is clear, and the mechanical strength is medium. It is suitable for making furniture and various wood products.
Russian pine: It is the same product as the Northeast pine, just because of the difference in national boundaries, so if it is said to use Russian pine, there is no need to import.
Remarks: Pine also has the distinction of cork pine and hardwood pine. Northeast pine and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica are hardwood pines in pine wood. They are good pine, white pine and larch are softwood pines. They are generally not used for making furniture. Dragon and so on.

12 , beech
It is found in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River in China, and Taiwan is rich in Fujian. The tree diameter is large, the width of the material is wide, and the pattern is beautiful. Especially, it has a strong fragrance, which can make the insects avoid it. It is often used to make cabinets , boxes, cabinets, etc. It is its advantage to store clothes in furniture; Disadvantages: Modern medicine proves that the gas volatilized from eucalyptus contains organic components such as camphor, alkanes, phenols, alkenes and oxime ether, which has a stimulating effect on human gastrointestinal mucosa. Once inhaled, it will produce a water-soluble metabolite , oxidized camphor. Therefore, placing the eucalyptus furniture in the bedroom will affect the quality of sleep, making people excited or even insomnia; the aroma of eucalyptus furniture may also Causes dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms; pregnant women if prolonged contact with eucalyptus furniture, easy to abortion; infants if long-term stimulation of eucalyptus odor, there will be adverse reactions.

13 , fir
Cork, for the fast-growing wood, finished a period of 4--6 years, due to the rapid production of natural wood fibers loose, and large water content, can not be used to make furniture, usually used for pulp, block board, MDF, particleboard, there The inner plate made of the finger joint plate is used for the inner baffle of the furniture, and the service life based on the original performance is not more than 5 years.


The value of solid wood furniture depends not only on the wood it uses, but also in the following areas:
1. Material used: The main material and auxiliary materials are different wood materials, the wood materials are different, the value is different, and the price is naturally different.
2. Manufacturer's processing equipment and process capability. Generally, large manufacturers are in place to deal with wood. The quality of the factory in the small workshops will be worse. Even if the wood used in the small factory is all real materials, the problem of warpage and cracking may occur in the future due to equipment problems.
3. Workmanship: The outside is very beautiful, the internal feel, the level of workmanship and neatness also reflect the quality of the furniture.
4. Excipients: The quality of the binder (glue) and paint. This is also the key point of environmental protection. The better the environmental protection.
5. Hardware: hinges, slides, handles, etc. also have added value, of course, the quality of the big brand is good for a long time.

Finally, I quoted online purchasing techniques for solid wood furniture:
The production of solid wood furniture is difficult and difficult to identify. It is difficult for the average person to identify correctly. It is a professional person, and it is not always able to identify correctly. Usually, destructive sampling is required to finalize the qualitative. Therefore, it is impossible to give everyone a really valuable identification method here. And it may involve more after-sales problems, so the only advice for everyone is to buy a larger brand, a guaranteed brand.
At present, the solid wood furniture sold in many relatively poor stores is usually fake and inferior products. Most of them have been greeted with low prices or salespersons' lie, and the liquidity of the store manufacturers is also very large, so the probability of being deceived is very high.
Solid wood furniture is inherently more expensive. Since it is necessary to spend this money, it is recommended that you choose a credible store, a credible brand, although more expensive, but the quality is reliable.
