Wood Family

Well, let's just say when I was pretty done looking with the word "Wood" or "Timber", I went a little off the track and tried looking for the reason that why all the wooden furniture looked appealing but in different ways just out of curiosity. Then I came across this vast diversity of woods that we use in Interiors and that justifies my curious thoughts.

These ten harvested woods can take your room from bland and expected to pieces of art that both our eyes and hands will appreciate.

1. Oak Wood

Before we encounter treated Oak wood, it’s the Oak tree that heavily impacts us. This noble and strong tree that can still be found in our yard as a sun blocking, shade offering method.That nobility translate just as powerfully even when we snuff the life out of it and assemble it into our dining room as table and chairs.

Not only this even when the wine is being poured take an extra moment to appreciate its superiority for out of the 600 species of oak perhaps one of them helped to age your wine in an oak framed barrel. Not too mention that the cork of your bottle may have originated from the oak bark as well.

2. Cedar Wood

It has most successful deterrent abilities against moths and other insects and odor destroying causes. Because of this they are used for fencing, house structuring, shingles, guitars, even shipbuilding. So come stink bug or high seas, cedar has the dexterity to stand strong.

3. Padauk Wood

Padauk is used for various projects like musical instruments and carvings and most commonly the intricacies of furniture, for this wood is stronger than oak and can withstand adhesives making it a durable and vivacious red wood. (through AskFurniture)

4. Teak Wood

This hardwood recognized as the national tree of the Philippines, in its green, yellow and brown tones is constructed into doors, window framea and both indoor and outdoor furniture. As it ages and matures in its processed state it will often be rendered to bearing a silver-grey surface.

5. Walnut Wood

Walnut is grown in different countries and climates thus have many different shades and temperaments, but is often acknowledges as a dependable wood neither expanding or shrinking, as another wood would do in normal circumstances. Which is a good thing considering that airplane propellers are structured out of one walnut specie.

6. Alder Wood

Next to walnut this if one of the most common used woods for furniture and interior purposes and is an affordable option for installing a quality product. The wood can be easily manipulated through sanding and staining to create a one of a kind surface and hue.

7. Purple Heart Wood

Often found deep in the heart of South America and in great demand world wide for its shiny, straight grain patterned texture. Known for its bendable and flexible endurance it is great for fabricating high quality furniture that is greatly resistive to fungus and termites. But of course, the most amazing asset of this wood is its deep and authentic purple color.

8. Lyptus Wood

Admit it, exotic things excite and attract us. Take the Koala bear, for example. Surely you would have to agree that this is a rare and beautiful animal that shows great taste in millwork material. The Eucalyptus plant has made it possible for us to have a naturally salmon hued wood that like us gets a little darker when spending time under UV rays. This wood makes for an amazing wide paneled floor as well as cabinetry and as mentioned earlier, for millwork such as doors, frames, and crown molding.

9. Maple Wood

When not being groomed as bonsai Maple is manufactured into simple things like baseball bats or bowling pins, but due to its stark and evident grain, it is very comfortable as an interior concept. From floors to furniture, to paneled walls Maple in it of itself is beautiful enough to be considered décor alone, and is often made into decorative wooden pieces. (by VERMONT WOODS STUDIOS)

10. Poplar Wood

This wood has within the past ten years made a scientific breakthrough, as it’s the first tree to have its DNA decoded. But before Science published this information we all knew that Poplars DNA played an integral part of our homes DNA. For the plywood that frames our four walls to perfection that not even the bubble in the level can complain about, well it’s due to poplar wood.

Paper, matches, chopstick, surely one of these is found in your home as well? Yes not only is this wood structurally flexible, but it is jack-of-all-trades and has served us well.
