Building Supplies: Wood is Good

What breed of a wood is good to use as a building material or as a furniture material?

Perhaps, wood is still the most used material in our houses.  Use of wood as a material for these or that products is always modern, universal and beautiful. First of all, wood is a non-polluting material. Secondly, the wooden furniture is always pertinent and speaks about good taste of the owners.  Thirdly, supporters of the feng shui systemare believe that it brings a cosiness, pleasure, calmness and well-being to a family.

For many centuries of work, the craftsmen have learnt almost everuything about wood.  What breed is better for using for garden furniture, what for manufacturing of an easy shelf or on the contrary, a heavy sound wardrobe?  We will tell, the pine is extremely popular. Doors, furniture for a summer residence, shelves for clothes etc. are being made out of it.

Oak is another popular good of the nature. Since ancient times it was worshiped by many masters for durability and toughness. The oak parquet is considered one of the most expensive and wearproof ones, which makes it recognized as a leader in the manufacturing of floors that last forever. The oak furniture also gets a high esteem. Sometimes it is possible to find in antique shops elements of the interior made from oak which age up to some centuries.

The walnut is also considered extremely strong material. Not only the breed possesses rich colour scale (it is possible to meet, both a yellow walnut, and almost black ones) but it can eventually change the colour with light for more dark.

Beech, due to its quality, and specifically to the fact that it can curve under the influence of steam with preservation of the form after drying,is highly valued. It suits well for manufacturing furniture.This breed is also known for its durability. Beech shades differ from pinkish to almost brown. After varnishing,  as a rule, the colour remains.

Linden is a soft breed, but craftsmen find application to it as well.The yellowish wood is easy to work with, so it’s not hard to cut and carve any pattern you want.  Leiden is mostly used for décor elements and interior accessories. The furniture made out of it cannot be exposed to heavy conditions.

The craftsmen often use the appearance of the wood. They make it the main acent for the funrniture production. For example, such is the decorative beauty of the Karelian birch or a cherry. Its rich warm shades perfectly combine with curls which are created by the nature!

Exotic breeds are generally used for decorating furniture from other breeds. For example, decorative inserts from the black rosewood, redwood give to furniture new sounding and nobleness.

Black rosewood is a surprising tree. Its wood has an unusual violet shade. It is frequent with light fibres which go along allfurniture. At the same time, the tree is extremely strong. An interesting fact is that the aroma of wood reminds a smell of violets.
