Is pineapple a kind of mahogany? Pineapple is not mahogany. Pineapple lattice is a big tree, and there are some differences between pineapple lattice and mahogany in growth cycle, geographical location, board use and characteristics. Pineapple is produced in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, and mahogany is produced in Guangdong, Nanyang Islands and India. The growth cycle of pineapple is about 150 years, while the growth cycle of redwood is relatively slow, which takes about 500 years. Pineapple checkered sapwood is grayish white or light yellow, with reddish brown inside and deep striped appearance, while mahogany core material is dark brown or brown with brown eyes. Pineapple plaid wood is mostly used to make decorative materials such as door panels and floors, and mahogany is mostly used to make furniture.

What grade does pineapple wood belong to? The top grade is Indonesian pineapple. This kind of wood has two origins, one is Indonesia and the other is Papua New Guinea. Most of the domestic materials are new materials from Pakistan, and only imported plates are from Indonesia. Moreover, the raw materials of pineapple lattice in Indonesia are scarce, which leads to its price much higher than that in other producing areas, ranging from 8k-1w. Indonesia pineapple has stable wood properties, high density, high strength, good oiliness, corrosion resistance and moth resistance. It is known as mahogany and is used by many people to build temples and villas.

There are many medium-grade pineapples, such as South American pineapple, Malay pineapple and Congo pineapple. , all belong to cost-effective wood. Although the grade is not as high as that of Indonesian pineapple, the cost performance is unparalleled. The wood density is lower than that of Indonesian pineapple, but there is sufficient demand for outdoor landscape ancient buildings, and there is no problem in outdoor use, and the density is high enough to resist corrosion and moth. The problem is that the moisture content is a little too high, and the water loses quickly outdoors, which leads to the deformation and cracking of its wood. This phenomenon will also occur in high-end wood.

Whether yellow pear wood is better or southern elm wood is better, these are two completely different kinds of wood, and there is no way to compare them. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages and uses.

1, elm is tough, with high mechanical strength and strong corrosion resistance; Moderate hardness and strength, suitable for carving, and can be adapted to general relief carving.

2. The sapwood of Ulmus pumila is clearly distinguishable, with dark yellow sapwood and dark purple-gray heartwood.

3. Ulmus pumila has clear texture, smooth plane, beautiful chords, and a pattern similar to "chicken wing wood". Wood can be shaped, carved, polished and painted, and it can make exquisite painted crafts.

4. Elm mainly depends on imports and resources, and its price is increasing year by year;

5, anti-corrosion, moisture-proof, tough texture, elasticity, strong compression resistance, etc. ;

6, elm furniture with elm unique "chicken wings", very beautiful and generous.

Pineapple lattice is an important timber tree species for outdoor furniture, outdoor floors, handrails and stairs, pavilions and wooden buildings, and it is also a substitute for mahogany furniture. Among the existing wood floor trees, pineapple has the best stability and few after-sales problems, so it is the main force in the current market and one of the commonly used outdoor wood trees.

Outdoor materials need to be moisture-proof, sun-proof, temperature-resistant, crack-proof, moth-eaten and deformation-proof, and pineapple lattice just meets the above requirements.
