Jujube wood furniture
Jujube is a perennial woody plant with slow growth. If you want to grow into a trunk with a thick bowl, it will take at least several decades. For a long time, taking jujube as an example, the thickness of its trunk is almost the same as that of an ordinary tree of 30 to 30 years old. The growth characteristics of jujube also determine the hard and meticulous wood properties of jujube, so jujube is very suitable for carving and making furniture.
This tree species has beautiful patterns, light red or dark red tones and outstanding stability. It is a classic and popular high-grade Southeast Asian tree species. Because this wood species is relatively rare, it is more precious and has a very high collection value.

Characteristics of jujube

2. Wood is hard
Jujube wood is hard and dense, with clear texture and good stability. The tensile strength of wood along grain is three times that of walnut, which also shows that there is no crack and depression in the log, so jujube is a very stable wood.
