Are oak and oak the same kind of wood?
Oak is commonly called oak. Oak and oak are common wood that can be used to make furniture. Heavy, hard, slow-growing, clear heartwood. The texture is straight or oblique, with strong water resistance and corrosion resistance, which is difficult to process, but the cutting surface is smooth and wear-resistant, which requires high adhesion and good paint coloring and finishing performance. Domestic furniture manufacturers mostly use oak as raw material. Oak belongs to Quercus acutissima, belonging to the beech family. Its nucleus is yellowish brown to reddish brown, with obvious growth rings, slightly wavy, heavy and hard. Oak wood is distributed in Jilin, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Hubei and other places in China. It belongs to the same family as oak and has similar texture. In English, it is usually called oak together with oak. China, Jilin and Liaoning once produced a large amount, and Hubei, Shennongjia and Shaanxi also produced a small amount of oak wood. However, the oak wood produced in China is short and small in diameter, and there is no specialized production in China, so it is not an ideal furniture material. At present, resources are limited, and due to forest protection measures, the output of China is very small. It is rare to produce high-quality oak wood in China, and excellent oak needs to be imported from abroad, which is nearly 10 thousand yuan per cubic meter, which is also an important reason for the high price of oak furniture.
