Can make furniture, not called powerful, can make long-term use and can be passed on furniture, is really commendable. Through drying treatment, wood can not only prevent mold and cracking, but also remove insects, which greatly improves the utilization rate of wood.
However, after the wood is dried, it is not directly put into use, it also needs a period of health.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > wood health</h1>
When you first hear about health maintenance, is it a bit of a question, is it difficult to make wood also need to soak feet and acupuncture? Of course not.
The health of the wood here is to release stress, for the better use of wood, and retain a process, the purpose is to reduce the chance of deformation.
The knowledge point is: "stress" is the internal force that interacts between the various parts of the wood body to resist the action of external forces, and strives to restore the wood from the position after deformation to the position before deformation. In other words, the internal stress and growth stress of the tree interact during the growth process.
In the process of tree growth, the internal stress and growth stress are balanced, and the original balance is destroyed after felling, especially after being affected by the external environment is violent and uneven, such as improper processing and molding, temperature changes, etc., which will produce stress. Stress will lead to wood cracking, deformation, greatly affecting the use of wood, so the elimination of stress, can better improve the life of wood, but also better ensure the normal use of furniture.
Of course, wood drying will also eliminate part of the stress, but can not be completely eliminated, its internal stress is difficult to control, the direction of release is not the same, can not be directly eliminated by external forces, so the way of "health" is also an excellent way to eliminate stress. Through the automatic volatilization of wood, internal stresses are released to the fullest, so as to better achieve the purpose of reducing cracking and deformation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > all wood need a health period? </h1>
Depending on the situation, after drying, the moisture content of many woods has reached the usable standard and can be directly put into use.
Of course, not all wood needs to be healthy, wood preservation is not good, it is likely to directly cause mold or cracking, so it depends on the specific wood, and its own situation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > manual material selection</h1>
After the "health" period of wood, it finally reaches the stage of material selection, and the selection of wood is also extremely important. This step is mainly in manual selection, through the eyes of the master to screen off the defective materials, leaving only the special high-quality solid wood, to ensure that the finished product produced has fewer defects.
To achieve the purpose of manual selection, first of all, there must be enough understanding of wood.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > heartwood and sapwood</h1>
Understanding heartwood and sapwood is the most basic. The longer the tree grows, the more the amount of sapwood converted into heartwood, and the heartwood itself is harder and stronger, and the master will select more wood for the heartwood in the selection process and use it in more weight-bearing parts, such as table legs of the table, bed legs and other parts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > scar</h1>
Is the knot scar not good, and is the knot scar wood going to be cut directly, or discarded?
Tree growth has knotted scars is a very normal phenomenon, which is inevitable for solid wood furniture, but also a major feature of solid wood furniture, this unique knot scar, but will set off the process of tree growth, very with a sense of age.
However, too large knot scars will affect the texture of the product, for example, in the process of processing, some knots do not look affected, but once painted or applied to wood wax oil, it will show a large color difference; more dead joints in the wood (the texture itself is either sound or not sound, and the surrounding wood is completely or partially detached from the knots. The texture is not hard enough to be used, and it must be cut or discarded.
The corresponding living knot refers to the node that is sound in texture and closely connected with the surrounding wood, there is no gap, the texture is hard, the structure is normal, but it can increase the unique beauty of the wood, and the solid wood furniture made is also unique.
Normal screening of knot scars, in addition to the dead knots, live knots, and section size regulations, more concerned about the selection of materials master's grasp, which is whether the material is available, but also rely on the master's accumulated experience.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > sectioning and splicing</h1>
The cutting material is for better collage, and the width direction is dissected to remove excess waste, unusable, or substandard edge materials, leaving only materials with sufficient hardness and beautiful and easy to use. Then do the big board straight spelling. Although this process has a lot of loss, it can greatly reduce the wood stress and reduce the possibility of deformation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > large board straight spelling, exquisite craftsmanship</h1>
Genji wood first cuts the wood into 5-11cm, a width that ensures that the wood is stable and does not deform, and can also show a complete and smooth wood grain, and then the color selection, grain and panel are selected by experienced carpenters. Color selection and grain selection are for the final finished furniture to better present, the wood with large color difference is spliced together, especially after spraying, there will be a large difference, affecting the beauty, the grain is the same. The grain of the wood is different, although it is not guaranteed to be accurately put together, but a better pair of grains will further enhance the texture of the product.
These are processes that most brands overlook, but they are still encouraged to do their best to make the product a little more beautiful while minimizing wood cracking.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > pressurized</h1>
The adhesion fastness of the splicing seams, sometimes even higher than the internal fiber fastness of solid wood, lies in this process.
In addition, this process is often used in panel furniture. By using small materials or other plant fibers, after pressurized gluing to make plates, instead of pure solid wood, as a furniture raw material, this board may be very strong, but the glue used in it is often seriously excessive, resulting in a large amount of formaldehyde, endangering human health.
After experiencing a large wave of craftsmanship and manpower, the raw materials for making furniture are finally over, each of which affects the final solid wood finished product, and more of it is the painstaking efforts and love injected by the craftsmen, so that our solid wood furniture is not only a piece of furniture, but also can withstand the polishing of the years and accompany our lives.
