Cherry tree
the wood is hard, firm, flexible and tough, with quite distinct tree-rings. The sap-wood is narrow and creamy pink to yellow in colour, the heartwood is
reddish-brown, it becomes then darker and red in the presence of air. The wood of the forest trees is darker. On the other hand, the wood of park trees is more differented
in terms of colour contrast, and on the tangential cut there are numerous colourful strips. Thanks to their structure and maturally warm colouring, sliced veneers, planks
or boards draw the attention. The cherry tree wood is easy to handle, it is slightly lustrous. It has always been welcome in the workshops of cabinet-makers. In massif
wood, it is used small-lot and unique pieces of furniture, from chairs, pedestals, little tables to a polished waffle ceiling. This woody species grows in Europe, Asia
Minor and in the eastern countries of the American continent.
Zebrano
tropical hard word, with distinct strips. Light, dark and middle brown strips are relatively even on the radial sides, but on the edges cut across the grain,
they are beautifully undulating. Zebrano grows especially in Africa. The wood is used for veneer, inlay, decorative frames and in wood-carving.
Mahagony
hard, heavy reddish-brown wood, then turning dark. From the tropical trees Swietenia candollei and Swietenia macrophylla of the Meliaceae family, originally
from Central America, Brazil and Venezuela. Nowadas, the term is being used also for other wood with similar qualities, e.g. for the wood from the trees of the Khaya,
Carapa a Soymida genera of the Meliceae family. Mahagony is especially used for making furniture, veneer, panelling; it´s easily workable and polishable.
AMERICAN ASH
hard and elastic ash wood was very reputable already in antic times as a very good material for producing spears and similar arms. Today we use it for
producing high-quality furniture and parquets. American ash is a typical tree of watersides, hilly and mounty country from 200 to 1500 atitude. The tree likes mounty
continental territories and endures nearly every type of soil.
