Introduction to Cherry Wood
Cherry wood is a hardwood that belongs to the rose family and is typically found in the northern temperate regions. It has a rich, reddish-orange color with a watermarked appearance and natural black mineral streaks in the wood grain.
The texture of cherry wood is similar to that of black walnut, with a smooth and delicate feel that lacks the pronounced grain pattern of other woods. One unique characteristic of cherry wood is that its color deepens and becomes more red over time, which adds to its overall beauty and character.
Cherry wood was a popular choice for furniture during the Middle Ages, and it continues to be used today for its timeless and vintage aesthetic.
Cherry wood has a warm, orange hue with a delicate and smooth grain pattern. It has natural dark mineral streaks in the wood, and once dried, it has excellent stability and is less prone to warping, cracking, or insect damage compared to other woods. In comparison to white oak, cherry wood has a deeper color and finer grain pattern.
Differences between Cherry Wood and Birch Wood
Birch wood is a different type of hardwood that is similar in color and grain pattern to cherry wood. While both cherry and birch are primarily found in the United States, they are distinct tree species with different properties. Cherry wood is considered to be superior in terms of quality and is more expensive, so consumers should take care to differentiate between the two when selecting furniture.
Introduction to Oak Wood
Oak has distinct grain patterns, such as straight grain and coarse pores, with a strong texture that can be felt when touched.
In addition, it is a very hard and durable wood that is resistant to wear and corrosion, making it an ideal choice for making furniture and flooring.
Our oak mainly comes from Wisconsin and Michigan, near the Great Lakes, which is one of the best production areas. The oak grown in this region has a slow growth rate, resulting in fine and tight annual rings and small, beautiful patterns.
North American oak has a more beautiful texture. Although oak is produced in both Europe and America, North American production areas produce better quality wood, with the Pennsylvania area on the north slope of the Appalachian Mountains being the best.
With low temperatures year-round, sometimes reaching below minus 20 degrees, and fewer natural disasters, the oak grown in this area has a slow growth rate, tight annual rings, and small, beautiful patterns.
Finished wood products have high color consistency and good stability.
We insist on using high-quality raw materials, controlling grades, and strictly selecting materials to ensure that the color differences and defects of the wood are minimized. However, solid wood has natural grain patterns and imperfections, such as slight color differences, knots, tiger stripes, and black lines, which should be accepted and cherished because they reflect the natural beauty and uniqueness of the wood.
