Some time ago, some fans asked me, "The custom furniture merchant said that it is South American cherry wood, and the material list produced is small leaf cherry wood, what should I do?" My answer is that as long as it is not sold as North American cherry wood, don't think too much, as long as the furniture is your favorite, don't dwell on these two names. Today I have time to introduce you to the difference between North American cherry wood, South American cherry wood, and leafy cherry wood?
American cherry wood
First of all, it needs to be clear that the authentic cherry wood that is currently imported, the general seller will state that it is North American cherry wood or American cherry wood. Other South American cherries and small leaf cherries do not belong to cherry wood, but the pattern and color of the wood are close, and there is still a gap between other physical properties and real cherry wood.
American cherry wood
American cherry wood is commonly known as American black cherry, the hardness is much higher than that of South American cherries, leafy cherries, drying stability is very good, usually used in high-end furniture, cabinets and so on.
American cherry wood
South American cherry wood is not a standard trade name, and most south American cherry trees on the market refer to North American alder wood. Because it is not a standard name, there are also boxwood and small leaf cherries called South American cherry wood, all of which are hard to lean on cherry wood in order to promote it, in fact, it has nothing to do with cherry wood.
Premium alderwood
Most commonly referred to as The South American cherry tree, alder, from a botanical point of view, cherry wood belongs to the rose family, while alder belongs to the birch family, so it is essentially a different tree species. And alderwood is also called red birch, as a plant of the birch family, I think it is more appropriate to call it red birch. However, in the national standard GB/T18513-2001, the standard name of alder should be red alder. If you go to the timber market to buy red alder with merchants, some merchants may not know what kind of wood it is. That's why I advise you not to dwell on the name of the wood.
Pu first grade alder wood
The last small leaf cherry wood, there are also merchants called golden silk alder, may be inspired by the golden silk nan wood. The small leaf cherry on the market usually refers to the domestic poplar wood. Although it is a domestic poplar, it is also selected through the selection of materials, selected without knots, dried, sanded, and sold as leaf cherry. Because of its high cost performance, it is now often used to replace imported alder.
Leaf cherry
Summary: Consumers who buy solid wood furniture or solid wood products, for the type of wood given by the merchant do not understand, you can go to the local wood market to ask, plate sellers will generally know what name their customers will sell finished products. You can ask the furniture factory to write the market common plate sales name and place of origin into the contract, for example, these three kinds of wood can be marked north American cherry wood, North American alder wood, domestic small leaf cherry wood. These kinds of wood are different subjects, disputes can be identified, and merchants usually do not risk replacing the material.
