Tips for identifying "red rosewood"

The launch of the “New National Standard” is of great help to collectors in purchasing redwood homes. However, in the current situation where the redwood merchants rarely have “one book, one card, one card”, Tibetans must master some practical when collecting mahogany furniture. Identify tips.

Same as Southeast Asian red rosewood

Every ton can vary by a million yuan

For example, the red rosewood, which is moderately priced and popular among Tibetans, is currently on the market. The price of red rosewood in Southeast Asia is more than 100,000 yuan per ton, and some prices are hundreds of thousands of yuan per ton. It costs a million yuan. The same is the red rosewood in Southeast Asia. Why is the price difference so great?

The price of redwood wood is determined by many factors such as the plate, size, shape and inventory of the mahogany. In addition, "red rosewood" is not a name for wood, but a general term for a class of wood, including Sian rosewood (Laos red rosewood, Southeast Asian red rosewood), Dwarf Dalbergia, F. rosewood and so on. At present, people often use dimpled Dalbergia, fluffy Dalbergia, and African rosewood to pretend to be Sian rosewood. In fact, Laos red rosewood, red rosewood and African rosewood are very different in price. The lowest African rosewood is about 4,000 yuan per cubic meter, and the price of dimples and red rosewood is 4 yuan per ton. About 10,000 yuan, the highest special value of Dalbergia chinensis can be as high as one million yuan per ton. Due to the variety of red rosewood wood, the price is different, and the identification is difficult, the purchase of red rosewood without the "one book, one card and one card" makes Tibetan friends feel confused and unable to start.

Identification of red rosewood

Look at density, texture, black gluten and oily

How to identify mahogany furniture without the “new national standard” escort? The price of a piece of furniture is determined by the combination of shape, material, art and rhyme. The red rosewood furniture of the same material has different workmanship and different styles. The price gap is also normal. For many Tibetan friends who have just come into contact with mahogany furniture, it is not easy to understand the style and craftsmanship. It is necessary to read more, learn more, and ask more questions. Through continuous learning, we can understand the craft value of mahogany furniture.

For the red rosewood furniture, taking the red rosewood in Southeast Asia as an example, Tibetan friends can learn from the following tips: look at the density. Because the density of mahogany wood is greater than that of water, the slices cut on the mahogany furniture with a knife will sink after being placed in the water, which is really mahogany. This method is applicable as long as it is not painted furniture. Second look at the texture. In general, the dark red rosewood is dense and the texture is clear and straight. The light red rosewood has a relatively low density and a slightly dark texture. Three look at the black ribs. The dark red rosewood has many black bands and is obvious, and its reddish bottom is black and red, while the light red rosewood has less black tendons, even if it is not as obvious as the former. Fourth, look at oily, oily and dark colors is also one of the criteria for judging. These four points are just a reference method for identifying red rosewood. If you want to make a more accurate identification, it is best to consult a professional.

In addition, due to the short implementation time of the “new national standard”, the implementation status of each province and city is different, but the business that does not implement the “new national standard” is not necessarily bad, but it is recommended that collectors go to the regular mahogany store to buy mahogany furniture. At the same time, the majority of Tibetan friends are reminded to seek legal aid to protect their legitimate rights and interests if they are deceived in the process of collecting mahogany furniture.
