Characteristics of wood

Walnut
Hardwood of the Juglandaceae family
It is heavy, shock-resistant, strong and resilient, and has little warping.
It has a gentle, flowing grain and combines beautiful appearance with excellent properties, making it highly popular since ancient times.
The wood surface also changes with use.

Beach
This wood is widely used due to its characteristics of being a hardwood from the beech family, with a dense grain, hardness, impact resistance, and toughness.
However, it has extremely low durability, so the more you use it, the more its character develops.

rosewood
This broad-leaved tree is a member of the legume family. Some fresh wood has a rose-like scent, which is where the name comes from.
It is said to be the finest material for furniture because of its high resistance to insects and bacteria and its beautiful finish.It is also used for decorating musical instruments because it does not warp easily.
