What is the difference between mahogany furniture and solid wood furniture?

Solid wood furniture refers to furniture made of solid wood. According to the traditional saying, solid wood furniture is generally divided into two types: hardwood and firewood.

 

Hardwoods include: huanghuali, red sandalwood, mahogany, wenge, grass pear. In the north, mahogany is subdivided into old mahogany, red rosewood, and white rosewood.

 

Firewood categories include: pine and cypress, catalpa, beech, elm, etc. Among them, beech is mainly used in the south, and elm is mainly used in the north, so there is a saying that the southern beech is the northern elm.

 

Between softwood and hardwood, there is also a kind of wood called: Phoebe. It is further divided into water nan and golden silk nan. Shui Nan is inferior, while Jin Si Nan is extremely precious!

 

Another kind of wood is camphor wood. Because of its unique function of wood: anti-moth-eaten, it is also a precious tree species. As for the "Yew" later mentioned, it has the effect of preventing cancer, so here I have no choice but to talk about it!

 

The above discussion is purely personal opinion. Because knowledge is limited, there must be places where it is not available. I hereby urge all my friends to give me more advice, so that I can have a chance to learn, so as to achieve my desire to continuously increase my knowledge! Here I would like to say to you in advance: thank you!
