1. Pine (Mason Pine and Pinus Sylvestris)

Environmental protection is of increasing importance. As a result, the use of solid wood sofas has increased. Pine sofas account for a large part of it. Especially most children's furniture is of pine wood. There are two main materials for pine furniture. The one is Masson pine. And the other is Pinus sylvestris. Pinus Sylvestris is the main material. Pine wood is an important raw material for man-made fiberboard in decoration. There are two types of mason pine texture, straight and oblique. Their distribution is uneven. They are of medium to coarse structure. The disadvantage is the more serious cracks when dry. Paint and bonding perform poor. The nail-holding force is strong. It is less used in furniture as woodworking panels. In general cases, the price of wood board is about 2 times that of the same size cedar integrated board. The pine wood is strong.

For example, varnish or white decorative panels or furniture can best reflect its beautiful pattern. It is suitable for modern and simple style. The disadvantage is that if it is used as solid wood furniture, the degree of deformation is larger than that of other woods. As a result, for all solid wood furniture of Fraxinus mandshurica, we use small wooden pieces to splice it. For most of the ash furniture in a furniture store, the main frames are of ash solid wood. The large area is covered with ash solid wood. This is because of the large deformation and shrinkage of Fraxinus mandshurica.

In some places, Southeast Asian rubber wood is used as oak. Take care to prevent counterfeiting when buying oak. Rubber wood has peculiar smell. This is the method to identify it. It is easy to moth and corrode.
