Why acacia wood

The Acadia tree can grow in a range of climates. However, they tend to do best in temperate, tropical, or desert areas. This species over 1, is also known as being a rapid growth plant. Given the right conditions, they will be able to grow around 20 to 30 feet 6 to 9 meters in just five years.

While doing this, they are capturing greenhouse gases like nitrogen and oxygen. This makes them an environmentally friendly option, as materials made from Acacia will store these gases.

There are hundreds of products that can be made from the Acacia tree, making it one of the most popular woods on the market. There are a few reasons why it has become such a desired commodity amongst manufacturers and customers alike. First, as we mentioned, this can be grown in a wide range of climatic conditions. As a result, there are several sustainable Acacia growers worldwide who can produce the wood in an environmentally friendly manner.

Because it can capture and store carbon and nitrogen emissions, this is considered eco-friendly. Because of its hardness, acacia wood is an excellent material for building furniture, decor, flooring, and more.

Many species have a medium to dark brown heartwood with sharply demarcated sapwood. Thanks to this unique element, modern interior design has never been so attractive! With over 1, different varieties available, acacia wood is accessible in almost every market of the world. Many farmers harvest the wood after they have used all of the sap also known as acacia gum from the tree.

These rapid-growing trees live years, and some are removed because they are a nuisance for other plant life in the area. As a result, demand tends to be very strong. While this type of wood can have a range of uses, one of the most common applications is building furniture.

This tends to be so popular because of the strength of the wood. This makes it the perfect option for building furniture, as you can put a lot of weight onto the wood without risking it buckling. Also, the Acacia tree can grow to be around 82 feet high 25 meters. As a result, builders can produce long pieces of furniture, like tables or benches, from a single piece of wood. With their advanced Acacia hulls, these ships began to dominate the seas and help place Great Britain as the leading world power of the 18th century.

Acacia timber has been used by different cultures to produce a variety of products. Elements of farmhouse, rustic, and industrial design combine together to create the Blayne collection. This collection features 2" thick solid acacia wood tops with a natural live edge and raw walnut finish. Finished with a moisture resistant, low-VOC finish and built sustainably-sourced materials.

This collection is built to be both eco-friendly and family-friendly. Special Note: these characteristics relate specifically to the Babul species of Acacia used to produce World Interiors furniture.

The Janka Hardness rating for Babul Acacia is pounds of force. Babul, and Acacia as a whole, has a naturally fine texture also considered a smooth finish. It's highly scratch resistant in comparison to other hardwoods. The grain can vary between straight and wavy patterns, and the color can range from a light amber to a dark mahogany. No two acacia slabs are alike. We use the Babul Acacia for four main reasons: it's affordable, easy to work with, durable, and sustainable.

It is grown on plantations for its hardened tree sap, known as Gum Arabic. Babul Acacia is easy to work with and hardens significantly after its kiln dried. This allows us to make benches, buffets, dining tables, and side tables, all without sacrificing the high quality of our furniture. Babul Acacia's workability prior to drying allows us to also craft beautiful live edge pieces, like our Nottingham dining table.

Some manufacturers, like VT, also provide two unfinished sides of the wood that can be used depending on consumer preference. One side of the wood features light wood with deep brown, rich wood grains and the other side incorporates a darker wood with brighter wood grains.

Acacia wood provides a true, one-of-a-kind natural aesthetic as no two pieces of wood are the same. To care for the wood, it is recommended to avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners or chemicals to clean the surface. Instead, opt for mild dish soap and water while ensuring to dry the surface thoroughly.
