The characteristics of ash are that the heartwood is a light brownish brown, the sapwood is light yellowish white, the wood grain is straight, and only the roots are covered with folds and loops.

Furniture craft
Is it frame solid wood?
The frame solid wood says that the shelves are solid wood, and the large materials are all plates. This type of furniture is easy to sway later. There are two reasons for this. One is the quality of the wood. The other is basically the nails. The furniture is easy to expand and shrink. The nails are not the same as the wood. The furniture is not loose for a long time.
Whether the tooth plate
The toothed wood is a piece of wood that is spliced ​​together with pieces of wood or wood, and then made of teeth. Painted on the outside feels like solid wood. The frame solid wood and the toothed wood furniture are called solid wood furniture, and actually it is just like the solid wood. Basically we see more than 80% of solid wood furniture.
Whether it is a æ¦«å¯ structure
The æ¦«å¯ structure is a commonly used technique in solid wood furniture. Generally speaking, the two structures mentioned above rarely use the æ¦«å¯ structure. Domestically, the structure of the crucible is quite welcome, because the expansion coefficient of metal and solid wood is very different, and the structural joint is not a crucible structure, and it is easy to loosen in the later stage.
Surface treatment
Generally speaking, from ancient times to today, our ancestors have a lot of surface treatment technology, a large set of waxing, and the skin wax can not be ignored. Among them, the thick thick putty spray all kinds of paint, collectively called to cover the Ming dynasty, the reason is because its material is not enough, these surface effects are needed to cover up their own deficiencies, in this case, we must avoid it.
There is also a drop of wax, the surface of the furniture feels shiny and shiny, especially smooth. This is to use a blowtorch to heat the surface of the wood and then apply the melted wax. The wood will continue to absorb the wax. The furniture will become heavier. Some of them will be cooked directly in the melted wax. If the quality of the wax is good, nothing will be said. The good later is a bit miserable, the patent peels off like dandruff.
Actual operation flow
Generally speaking, the “solid wood†in the mouth of the seller is definitely different from the “solid wood†in the mouth of our consumers. If you buy solid wood furniture, it is recommended to use eucalyptus and oak, which are “hardwoodâ€. The woods of pine, poplar and poplar are relatively soft.
Don't be confused by the low price of the merchants, solid wood furniture is usually 15% more expensive than the panel furniture, the price is very cheap, the furniture legs may be solid wood, but other places have to be considered.
Solid wood furniture is usually a frame structure. For example, if the side panel of the furniture is a whole board, it is likely to be a panel furniture. Of course, some solid wood, such as ash and eucalyptus, can be solid wood bending process. Although this is not absolute, we can definitely exclude some of the "unqualified" solid wood furniture.
Some of the ends of the disassembly parts, such as the laminates and legs, can be seen from the end as a piece of wood or solid wood.
Solid wood furniture is still going to the store to buy as much as possible, the online pictures are understood, many are processed. We can also take a look at the physical store under the cable, touch it, and there is no way online.
When looking at solid wood furniture, we can knock on it by hand, solid wood furniture will make a crisp sound, and wood-based panels will be somewhat low. Furniture legs are generally not faked, and these places are easy to see, even if the thickness is uneven, we can check it out.
Some are solid wood, but the materials are different. You may not be able to hear them when you knock them. The difference is not big. The one mentioned here is cheap wood in the middle, the outside is skinned, and the last frame is sealed. This kind of judgment from our design, the design of the solid wood will generally be more concise and clear, there are extra edge seals, pull the groove line and some have hidden the door.
Like the use of scars to judge, look at the location of the punch, look at the cross-section, many of my friends have heard, don't pretend that this side does not elaborate, friends who need to know, you can also leave a message below the article, don't pretend to We must do our best to help you solve the problem.
Of course, skinning and sheeting are not nothing, they have their own advantages. It’s just that we can’t accept the money for solid wood furniture, and we buy leather furniture. The purpose of this article is to help consumers identify solid wood furniture and no longer be fooled by unscrupulous businesses!
