Decorative wood

Soft miscellaneous wood is one of the most common types of wood in daily life. Except for individual varieties, most soft miscellaneous wood is a common structural material in construction and decoration.

Characteristics of soft wood: The general characteristics are lighter material, relatively strong structural strength, strong bending resistance, and good corrosion resistance, but the pattern and color of most woods are not ideal, and some tree species have lighter volume. Therefore, the bearing capacity is poor.

Main tree species: pine, fir, poplar, willow, alder, colored wood, birch.

Rigid miscellaneous materials are mostly decorative materials, which are the main furniture materials for mid-range decoration and important decorative materials for decoration.

The main characteristics of hard miscellaneous materials are that the patterns and colors of most woods are beautiful, the weight of the materials is moderate, and it is not easy to deform.

The hard and miscellaneous materials are mainly azalea, thorn tree, nut elm, yellow pineapple, manchurian ash, walnut and so on.

Valuable hardwood has fewer sources and is more expensive.

The main features are large bulk density, harder material, good structural strength, and ability to withstand heavy loads. Most of the patterns are very beautiful, and the texture is delicate. And corrosion resistance, wood color is also ideal.

The main tree species are: iron pear, rosewood, rosewood, beech, nanmu, and camphor.

Imported wood is relatively expensive, with relatively few finishes and structural materials

Mainly: mahogany, eucalyptus, teak, oak, etc.
