Diffuse porous wood or semi- ring-porous , single- hole , a small pore diameter column complex , containing a dark gum , sediment or tylosis . Axial parenchyma wing , wing-shaped poly , ribbon , ring -shaped and round circles like bundles . Fine to very fine wood rays to separate the main path is not obvious surface markings or slightly obvious chord mask ripples . Wood and shiny, with slight or significant clean aroma, texture staggered , thin and uniform structure, part of South America, Africa produced slightly thick , corrosion resistance, durability . Material hard reset , some medium, high intensity , some medium , usually floating on the water , wood or sawdust flooding VIS fluorescence phenomenon . Most appear in the Ming-style furniture , wood density , color from light yellow to dark brown . General pear furniture using longer , but the more bright color , is more suitable for modern space .

Advantages: smooth section , easy to glue, good paint coating performance.
Disadvantages: rubber wood smell, because sugary and more easy to change , decay and insects . Not easy to dry, do not wear, easy to crack, easily bent , wood processing trade, while the sheet metal processing deformation .

7, oak wood : Material heavy and hard, coarse structure , wood ray Obviously, high mechanical strength , it is easy to dry wood , processing difficulties , resistance to damage , cementation is not easy, but the good color performance, bending performance is well, the surface material used to make furniture and do veneer .

8, pine : without carving , clear texture , delicate lines with pine scent , a beautiful scarring. Production process requirements, need to dry degreasing .

9, catalpa wood : wood and shiny, structure slightly thick, slow drying , easy to warp , easy processing, pinned strong.

10, elm : Wood of tough, clear and accessible texture , moderate hardness and strength , general openwork relief can adapt , planing surface is smooth , beautiful pattern string side , there is " wenge " pattern, elm after drying , shaping, carving grinding painted , exquisitely carved lacquer crafts. In the north of the furniture market everywhere. Elm and beech Southern production of " South North Elm Beech ," said. And the width of a large timber , fine texture gentle ; small deformation rate, carvings, mostly rough -based. Yellow and purple elm elm Ulmus points.

Oak furniture features : a relatively sharp Yamagata wood, and has a good touch surface texture textured elegant European white oak , red oak in North America there are big mountain lines . Due to heavy oak hard texture , moisture off the net more difficult , difficult process .

12, Sapele wood ( red shadow wood ) (Sapele scientific name : Entandrophragma cylindricum) Alias: Hong Mahogany , Sapele mahogany ; distribution regions : West , Central and East Africa ; Appearance: Wood staggered when there is a wavy texture , a unique fish oval black markings in quarto sawing wood texture processing ; porosity medium , high gloss ; pale yellow sapwood and heartwood reddish or dark brown ; physical properties: weight , flexural strength, compressive strength, seismic performance , corrosion resistance and durability moderate ; toughness, low steam bending properties ;
processing performance : processing is relatively easy , although due to the staggered wood, its surface may be in the planing the process of cracking ; gluing, mortising , good nails performance ; good performance paint and other surface treatment , especially after using the pore fillers ;
purposes: true mahogany in many similar applications such as : ordinary furniture , fine wood furniture, decorative veneer, paneling , flooring , indoor and outdoor connecting with wood components, base frame windows , doors , staircases, boats and other vehicles and piano with the panel .

With plywood furniture as the main substrate to produce veneer way made ​​modular furniture disassembly .

One , plywood, MDF main
( medium density fibreboard ) , three amine board ( ie, melamine board , green board ) , particle board ( ie particleboard, bagasse board ) , plywood ( commonly known as plywood ) and so on .

1, MDF
highest cost , high-quality furniture is more common plates, generally used in high-end furniture over . MDF is a wood fiber or other plant fiber as raw material, resin adhesives, high temperature and pressure after the repression, the density of 0. 50-0. 88G / cubic centimeter artificial plate.
Features: uniform fine wood , large flexural strength, ease of processing , especially for curved and contoured design . Avoid the boil , Poles and other defects, expansion and contraction of small, does not warp without cracking , surface smoothness easy to paste veneer , there is no processing defects , bond strong, strong nail holding capability.

2, three amine board ( ie, melamine board , green board )
the MDF or particleboard high temperature and pressure at the surface mount decorative melamine paper plates .
Features: Water heat resistant, highly polished, stable performance , rich colors , beautiful appearance. Surface of the plastic film , non- volatile chemical gases .

3, particle board ( ie particleboard, bagasse board )
using various mechanical parts of sawdust or wood shavings mixed with dried glue hot pressing.
Features : Material loose , light weight, strong grip nails , moisture waterproof, easier to control formaldehyde emissions , not easily deformed , etc., suitable place for furniture plane. Its disadvantage is that large particles, unsuitable paint , sculpture , plastic sheets and other technology and . Under the conditions of quality assurance particleboard and medium density no good or bad .

4, plywood ( commonly known as plywood )
softened after the logs processed into veneer peeling , and then after drying glue , staggered by the wood grain piled up , the pressure made ​​by the pressing machine .
Features : good acoustic performance , temperature adaptability in different temperature regions, changes in the shape of little plates , easily deformed. Surface roughness, strong stick , paste a good veneer effect. , Compression capability than the MDF mild swelling poor. However, weak grip nails .

Two , furniture decorative materials
common materials with natural wood veneer finishes Veneer ( commonly known as the veneer ) , wood paper ( commonly known as cardboard ), PVC sheet, fire boards , paint and so on.

1, natural veneer ( veneer )
more typically used in high-end furniture, veneer common color from light to dark , there are cherry, maple , white elm, red elm , ash, white oak , red oak , teak, pear, red pear , walnut, white shadow wood, red shadow wood, sandalwood, ebony and other types.

Not only the natural beauty of natural wood veneer stickers , excellent performance , but there is a certain veneer thickness (0. 3-0. 6mm), the furniture has a good protective effect.

2, synthetic veneer ( veneer technology )
sheet using natural wood as raw material , with a different color skin layer laminated wood , glued by high pressure forming resin wooden poles, and then form a different color from the cross-sectional slice of a bar , the new veneer of different wood species . ( After finishing, dyeing, hot glue , wood sawing specifications and procedures and many other aspects of the production ) , keep timber insulation, insulation, thermostats , humidity and all other natural features. Texture pattern rules . Advantages surface wear resistance, high hardness , easy peeling, color uniform , smooth surface, resistant to environmental factors than the veneer stability.

3, wood paper ( cardboard )
printing paper pulp made ​​of cardboard fiber labeled with a computer and printed floral wood needed for mass production , wood printing monotonous repetition , color similar no three-dimensional.

4, dough or paste made ​​of plastic PVC sheet
petrochemical products such as veneer , wood grain surface by special printing presses and floral, prepare plastic back , precision instruments subject to hot glue together .

5, kraft paper plate desk by the fire board , phenolic resins delicious , plus titanium complex tissue paper, melamine paper is laminated together . Used for furniture, kitchenware and so on.
