  Last time we introduced the specific practical functions and stylistic features of pine, teak and oak in decoration, today we will introduce other wood in home decoration.

Ash

Features:

·Beautiful and clear grain, strong and shock resistant; good bending properties, smooth cut suitable for processing.

·Susceptible to deform and requires later maintenance.

  Ash wood is mainly found growing in North America and parts of Europe. Varnished or white-painted to give a smooth and gentle wood grain, it is suitable for a modern and minimalist style. Ash wood is an excellent material for domestic production, especially for decorative lines and fine woodworking of small pieces.

  Walnut is mainly produced in North America, Europe and South East Asia, with slight differences in the shades of walnut from different origins, and is also known as Black Walnut in the USA because of its dark chocolate and purple colour. Because it does not warp easily, it is more adaptable to climatic conditions, both in slightly dry and humid areas. Walnut furniture has a distinctive character and is a popular precious wood in both Western and neo-Chinese design.

Cherry wood

Price: ★★★★

Keywords: Demure, Vintage, Americana

Features:

·Fine grain; shows a strong brown or red lustre.

  Cherry wood is a high-grade wood, with the main origins being the USA and Japan. Cherry wood from the two locations differs in its internal structure, colour and the effect of the finished furniture.Cherry has a fine grain and is very warm to the touch, without having the same high, cold feel as black walnut. However, as the material is not too hard, everyday knocks can easily leave marks and require extra care.
