There are more than thousands of species of trees in the world that have wood with different characteristics according to weather, soil type, altitude (above sea level), and other factors. Due to these factors, some of these species have been used in furniture manufacturing for many years. The most important of these are the resistance of wood to water and air humidity, physical impact, heat, deformation over time, insecticide and strength, density, different textures, beauty, and so on. One of the most contributing factors is their leaf shape.
One of the methods of classifying wood in the furniture and woodworking industry is based on the shape of the leaves of the trees. In this way, the wood is divided into two types of conifers and broad leaves. In furniture manufacturing, you can use either of those timbers based on the texture or price, if you want to see how the finish products look like visit Greenhouse Decor stands for plants.
