This is information about some of the materials used for furniture producing.
Rattan - Rattan is the name for the roughly 600 species of palms in the tribe Calameae, native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australasia. Most rattans differ from other palms in having slender stems, 2–5 cm diameter also, they are not trees but are vine-like,scrambling through hand over other vegetation. Rattans are also superficially similar to bamboo.Unlike bamboo, rattan stems ("malacca") are solid, and most species need structural support and can not stand on their own. In forests where rattan grows, its economic value can help protect forest land, by providing an alternative to loggers who forgo timber logging and harvest rattan canes instead.Rattan is much easier to harvest, requires simpler tools and is much easier to transport. It also grows much faster than most tropical wood.This makes it a potential tool in forest maintenance,since it provides a profitable crop that depends on rather than replaces trees. It remains to be seen whether rattan can be as profitable or useful as the alternatives.Generally, raw rattan is processed into several products to be used as materials in furniture making.The various species of rattan range from several millimeters up to 5–7 cm in diameter. From a strand of rattan,the skin is usually peeled off, to be used as rattan weaving material. There manning "core"of the rattan can be used for various purposes in furniture making. Rattan is a very good material mainly because it is light weight,durable, and—to a certain extent— flexible.
Water hyacinth - Water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant native to tropical South America. With broad, thick, glossy, ovate leaves,water hyacinth may rise above the surface of the water as much as 1 meter in height. One of the fastest growing plants known, water hyacinth reproduces primarily by way of runners or stolons, which eventually form daughter plants.It also produces large quantities of seeds,and these are viable up to thirty years.When not controlled, water hyacinth will cover lakes and ponds entirely;this dramatically impacts water flow, blocks sun light from reaching native aquatic plants, and starves the water of oxygen, often killing fish (or turtles).
Sea grass - Sea grasses (or sea-grasses) are flowering plants from one of four plant families.These unusual marine flowering plants are called sea grasses because the leaves are long and narrow and are very often green, and because the plants often grow in large "meadows"which look like grassland: in other words many of the species of sea grasses superficially resemble terrestrial grasses of the family Poaceae. Sea grasses are collected as fertilizer for sandy soil. Also used for furniture producing as a weave material
Banana leaf - Leaf from banana palms , usually use for weave material.
Bamboo -The bamboos are a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family. Bamboos are the fastest growing woody plants in the world.Their growth rate (up to 60 centimeters (24 in.)/day)is due to a unique rhizome-dependent system,buts highly dependent on local soil and climate conditions.They are of economic and high cultural significance in East Asia and South East Asia where they are used extensively in gardens, as a building material, and as a food source. There are more than 70 genera divided into about 1,000 species.
