Which one is better, elm or pine?

The density of elm is 0.68g/cm^3, and the density of pine is in the range of 0.4-0.7g/cm^3.

Elm wood has clear texture, large tree size and few scars. It is a valuable material for making furniture. The wood texture is straight, the pattern is clear, the wood has good elasticity, is resistant to moisture and corrosion. The air-dry density is 0.68g/cm^3, and the wood hardness is moderate, easy to dry, not easy to deform and not easy to crack.

Pine wood is divided into soft pine wood and hard pine wood. Softwood pine has an air-dry density of 0.4 to 0.5g/cm^3, such as Korean pine and Siberian red pine. Those with an air-dry density of 0.5 to 0.7g/cm^3 are hardwood pine, such as masson pine and Scots pine.

Extended information

The characteristics of elm pine are:

1. Elm is the first choice for making furniture. The pattern is beautiful and the color is beautiful and generous. Suitable for high-end furniture, cabinets, carved lacquer crafts, etc.

It can be used for furniture, decoration, etc. After drying, shaping, carving, grinding and painting, the elm wood can be used to make exquisite carved and painted crafts.

3. Some hardwood pines of pine have a large proportion of early wood and low density due to their wide annual rings, such as masson pine and radiata pine fast-growing wood. On the contrary, some softwood pines have narrow annual rings due to their slow growth. , the proportion of late wood is large and the density increases.
