Wooden Furniture

Wood furniture is made of various tree woods,

such as- Shegun, Gamari, Shal, Mango etc.Among these names, Shegun and Gamari woodare the most preferred woods for furniture.Gypsum Board furniture are the cost-effectiveway to achieve the impression of wood furniture.For furniture made of GB, veneers are used fordecoration. Veneers are thin sheets of wood thatare glued to base materials, then stainedand finished.

At present, another cost-effective way for woodfurniture is to import from China. For theseimported furniture, they are either made ofsoftwoods which are evergreens, like-Spruce,

Cedar etc; or hardwoods which are deciduous,like-maple, oak etc. Softwoods are used forresidential grade Furniture, while hardwoods areused to construct seating frames, base cabinetry,and solid furniture. Hardwoods make good

surface finishes.

Interior Construction

Ply wood refers to a laminated wood-panel construction used to gain the

advantage of stability, strength in both directions, and greater resistance to

checking and spli tting. Modern plywood panels also make possible the use of

thin veneers producing a consistent matched appearance impossible in solid

wood. Solid wood will vary greatly in color and grain direction, while thin

veneers are consistent in grain and color since they are cut from the same piece

of wood.

Ply wood is a wood panel product made by bonding veneers together under

heat and pressure, usually with the grain of adjacent piles at right angles to

each other. High density overlay (HDO) is a wood panel product that has a resin-

fibre overlay on both sides, providing a smooth, hard, abrasion-resistantsurface. (ching)

Veneer

The veneers used for plywoodvary in thickness from about

one-twentieth of an inch to

one-eight. Veneers are cut

three ways: sawing, rotary

cutting, and slicing.

Sawing: Sawn veneer is

produced in long strips by

sawing, as its name implies.

These veneers are about one-eighth of an inch thick. This

method is seldom used today.

Rotary-cut veneer is made by

placing the log in a lathe and

rotating it against a knife. Thewood is un-peeled in one

continuous sheet, like the

peeling from a huge pencil

sharpner.
