This paper analyzes the influence of the
application of wood on the technological preparation
of furniture production. When it comes to furniture
production the wood as a choice of material is the
most used material today as it was in the past. It
describes the physical and chemical properties of the
wood, its technology for making furniture, as well as
the influence of the choice of the type of wood on
the application of furniture production.
From the conducted research in furniture
manufacturing companies it can be concluded that at
the moment the most common wood for furniture
production in North Macedonia is the beech, the
second is the oak, and the third is the walnut. The
technologies used to process these types of wood are
up to date with world-class technology, and when
economies are required, sometimes chipboard and
mediapan are also used. The best type of wood for
making furniture is the oak, but from the research it
can be concluded that besides being less available
from the beech, it is also more difficult for
processing and requires different machining
