1, beech wood is heavy, strong, impact resistant, easy to bend under steam, can be made into various shapes, and has good nail holding performance. It is unique to Jiangnan, with clear texture, uniform texture and soft and smooth timbre. It is heavier than most ordinary hardwoods and belongs to the upper-middle level in all wood hardness rankings.
2. Elm, the genus Elm, is mainly produced in temperate zones, deciduous trees and tall trees, which are distributed all over the north, especially in the Yellow River basin. Elm wood is tough, clear in texture, moderate in hardness and strength, suitable for general relief carvings, smooth in plane, beautiful in chord patterns, and "chicken-winged wood" patterns, which can be used for furniture and decoration. After drying, modeling, carving, polishing and painting, elm can be made into exquisite carved lacquer crafts. Russian old elm (purple elm) is the most classic, with the advantages of clear texture and less scars on the tree, and it is a precious material for making furniture.

Advantages and disadvantages of beech:
superiority
1. As far as beech furniture is concerned, beech is hard and impact-resistant.
2, easy to bend under steam, can make various shapes, but it is not easy to deform when drying, and it is durable.
3. From the appearance, beech has uniform texture, beautiful texture and soft and smooth tone. Can be used in buildings and utensils.
4. Good processing, coating and gluing performance.
disadvantaged
1. Because the age of each tree is different, the color and density of the trees are also different, so the color of the furniture made will be different.
2. Cracks and deformations are easy to occur during drying and processing in the kiln. Therefore, it is not easy to make a set of furniture successfully.
