Handmade Wooden Coffins Parameters:

Handmade Wooden Coffins Features:

Exquisite craftsmanship: This Handmade Wooden Coffins is handmade by experienced craftsmen, and every process is full of ingenuity. In the wood cutting process, high-precision hand-saws are used, and the cutting error is controlled within ±0.5 mm to ensure the accuracy of the wood size, laying a good foundation for subsequent assembly. When splicing, the traditional mortise and tenon craftsmanship is combined with modern fine nailing. The mortise and tenon fit is extremely high, and the error does not exceed 0.2 mm, making the connection between the components tight and firm. The polishing process is even more meticulous, using sandpaper of different coarseness from 80 to 2000 mesh for multiple polishing, and finally the surface smoothness of the coffin reaches Ra0.8 microns or less, with a delicate feel and smooth and natural lines, showing a high quality far beyond industrial mass production, and every detail shows the unique charm of handcraftsmanship.

High-quality wood raw materials: Select paulownia solid wood, which has excellent physical properties. Its density is between 0.25-0.35 g/cm3, and the material is light and soft, which is easy to carry and process. The bending strength under air-dry density can reach 60-80 MPa, and the compressive strength is 30-40 MPa, which ensures the structural stability of the coffin during use. At the same time, Paulownia wood has excellent corrosion resistance. In the soil simulation corrosion test, after 5 years of burial, its mass loss rate does not exceed 5%, which can effectively resist the erosion of moisture, microorganisms and chemicals in the soil, and provide long-term protection for the deceased. In addition, the texture of Paulownia wood is clear and beautiful, and the wood grain lines are smooth, which adds a natural and simple beauty to the coffin.

Size standard specification: The size of the coffin is 190x56x28cm, which is determined after a lot of market research and traditional funeral customs. In terms of length, 190cm can meet the height requirements of most deceased people and has a wide range of adaptability. The width of 56cm ensures that there is enough space inside the coffin to accommodate the deceased, but it will not be too wide to increase the difficulty of transportation and burial. The height of 28cm conforms to ergonomics and traditional aesthetic concepts, and is more coordinated in funeral ceremonies. According to statistics, this size can adapt to more than 90% of funeral-related equipment and scenes on the market, whether it is a traditional burial tomb or a modern cremation ash placement site, it can be perfectly adapted.

Appropriate wood thickness: The wood thickness reaches 25mm, and this thickness has been strictly mechanically calculated and tested. In terms of compressive performance, after professional equipment testing, the paulownia solid wood coffin of this thickness can withstand a vertical pressure of more than 800 kilograms without obvious deformation, ensuring that it will not be damaged by external force during transportation and burial. In terms of impact resistance, through simulated collision tests, the coffin only suffered slight surface damage when subjected to an impact energy of 50 joules, and the internal structure remained intact, providing reliable safety protection for the deceased. At the same time, the appropriate thickness also helps to keep the temperature and humidity inside the coffin relatively stable, reducing the impact of the external environment on the remains of the deceased.

Stable and firm structure: Through the unique hand-stitching process, the structure of this Handmade Wooden Coffins has achieved extremely high stability. During the splicing process, a high-strength special woodworking glue is used, and its bonding strength reaches 15-20 MPa to ensure that the components are tightly combined. At the same time, combining the traditional mortise and tenon structure with modern metal connectors, the bite force of the mortise and tenon can withstand a tensile force of 300-400 Newtons, and the metal connectors further enhance the overall stability. After rigorous mechanical testing, the coffin remains structurally intact when it withstands 1000 kg of lateral pressure and 500 kg of twisting force, and will not loosen, deform or crack, providing a solid and reliable resting place for the deceased.

Fine surface treatment: The surface of the coffin is processed through multiple complex processes. First, it is repeatedly polished with sandpaper of different coarseness and fineness, from coarse sandpaper to remove burrs to large sandpaper to improve smoothness, and the number of polishing times exceeds 10 times. Then the paint treatment is carried out. Environmentally friendly high-quality wood paint is selected. The hardness of the paint film reaches 2H-3H, with good wear resistance and scratch resistance. The adhesion of the paint film reaches 0-1 level, ensuring that the paint and wood are tightly combined and not easy to fall off. During the painting process, a uniform spraying process is adopted, and the thickness of the paint film is controlled between 80-120 microns, which not only ensures the gloss and beauty of the coffin surface, but also effectively prevents the wood from getting damp and deforming, extending the service life of the coffin.

Handmade Wooden Coffins Maintenance:

Avoid direct sunlight: Long-term direct sunlight can cause serious damage to wooden coffins. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can change the color of the wood surface, causing fading or discoloration, affecting the beauty of the coffin. At the same time, ultraviolet rays can also destroy the molecular structure of wood, making the wood fragile and reducing its strength and durability. In addition, sunlight exposure can increase the temperature of the wood surface, causing the moisture inside the wood to evaporate, causing the wood to dry and crack. Therefore, the coffin should be stored in a place that avoids direct sunlight, such as using curtains to block the sun or choosing a cool storage space. If it is impossible to completely avoid sunlight, you can consider using measures such as ultraviolet protection film or awnings to reduce the impact of sunlight on the coffin.

Control environmental humidity: Appropriate humidity is essential for the preservation of wooden coffins. Excessive humidity can cause wood to absorb moisture, causing the wood to swell and deform, and even breed mold and bacteria, causing the wood to mold and rot. Too low humidity will cause the wood to lose moisture, become dry, fragile, and prone to cracking. Generally speaking, the relative humidity should be maintained between 40% and 60%. You can use a humidifier or dehumidifier to adjust the humidity of the environment and ensure that the coffin is in a stable humidity environment. In the humid season, turn on the dehumidifier in time to reduce the air humidity; in the dry season, use a humidifier to increase the air humidity. At the same time, you can also place humidity regulators such as silica gel desiccant or moisture absorption boxes around the coffin to help maintain stable humidity.

Clean the surface regularly: Regularly wiping the surface of the coffin with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and stains is an important measure to maintain the coffin. Dust and stains not only affect the beauty of the coffin, but may also contain corrosive substances and damage the wood surface. When wiping, use a soft cloth and avoid using rough brushes or rags to avoid scratching the wood surface. Avoid using wet cloths or detergents containing chemicals, because moisture may penetrate into the wood, causing the wood to become damp and deformed, and chemicals may corrode the wood surface. If there are stubborn stains on the surface, you can ask professionals to handle it. They will use professional cleaning tools and methods to ensure that the stains are removed without damaging the coffin.

Prevent collisions and scratches: During transportation and storage, be extra careful to avoid collisions or scratches between the coffin and other objects. Collisions and scratches can cause damage to the wood surface, affecting the appearance and integrity of the coffin. A layer of soft protective material, such as foam pads or flannel, can be covered on the surface of the coffin to reduce damage from collisions and scratches. When transporting, use professional handling tools and methods to ensure that the coffin moves smoothly. When storing, place the coffin in a stable place and avoid stacking it with other heavy objects to prevent the coffin from deformation or damage due to uneven pressure.

Keep away from chemicals: Avoid contact between the coffin and chemicals such as acids and alkalis, which may cause serious corrosion to the wood. Acids and alkalis will react chemically with the components in the wood, destroy the structure and properties of the wood, and cause the wood to discolor and rot. If it is necessary to use chemicals near the coffin, such as detergents, pesticides, etc., appropriate protective measures should be taken to ensure that the coffin is not affected. The coffin can be temporarily moved to another place, or isolation measures can be taken when using chemicals to prevent chemicals from splashing on the surface of the coffin.

Regular inspection and maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of the coffin is the key to ensuring its integrity. Every once in a while, carefully check all parts of the coffin to see if there is any looseness, deformation or damage. Check whether the joints are tight and whether there are cracks or scratches on the wood surface. If any problems are found, contact professional personnel for repair and maintenance in time. Professionals have rich experience and professional tools to accurately diagnose and repair the coffin to ensure that the coffin is always in good condition. At the same time, regular inspections can also detect potential problems in time and take preventive measures to avoid further deterioration of the problem.
