According to national standards, the range of "redwood" is determined to be 5 genera, 8 categories and 33 main varieties. The five genera are named after the genera of dendrology, namely Pterocarya, Dalbergia, Elaeagnus, Aralia and Diospyros. Eight categories of wood are named after their trade names, namely rosewood, rosewood, rosewood, rosewood, rosewood, ebony, ebony, striped ebony and chicken wing wood.
In recent years, more and more people have invested in mahogany furniture. Why? What is the most appropriate investment? You Lian came to tell you about going home.
Mahogany refers to the heartwood of these 5 genera and 8 classes of wood, and heartwood refers to the central part of a tree without living cells. Other wooden furniture cannot be called mahogany furniture.
In recent years, the price increase of mahogany raw materials can reach 20% to 30% every year. Take huanghualimu as an example. In 2003, raw materials were only 654.38 million yuan, and now it can reach 7-8 million yuan a ton.
People choose mahogany furniture as investment products, on the one hand, they take a fancy to the use value of mahogany furniture. Because mahogany has the characteristics of high hardness, high density, good stability, strong oiliness, beautiful patterns and strong carving expression, it has stronger durability and lower maintenance cost than ordinary furniture. Real mahogany furniture can even be used for hundreds or thousands of years, which can be described as durable. On the other hand, because mahogany furniture belonged to the royal nobility in ancient times, people have always regarded mahogany products as a symbol of taste, identity and taste.
In addition, due to the long growth cycle of redwood, the average annual growth of DBH is less than 1 cm, which leads to the scarcity of raw materials. "Things are scarce", the price of mahogany furniture naturally rises, which also makes the collection of mahogany furniture a hot spot.
For how to choose good mahogany furniture, the key is to look at the appearance, and the same tree species will have different appearances.
The difference in appearance is manifested in three aspects. One is fragrance, the other is wood grain, and the third is workmanship. As far as fragrance is concerned, the biggest feature of rosewood is sour taste, while Huang Huali wood is fragrant.
The difference of wood grain is reflected in the symmetry of wood, which is what people usually call color difference. If you want to choose, choose mahogany with small color difference. If there are some beautiful patterns, it will be even more beautiful. For example, rosewood produced in Thailand and Cambodia is mostly yellow and red, while in Laos and Vietnam, it is mostly black and purple. This color difference causes the price of the latter to be nearly double that of the former.
In terms of workmanship, it is summarized as "aura". Whether it is furniture or handicrafts, it depends on the gas field. It is difficult for ordinary people to make an aura. If it is a master's work, the gas field is in place.
Form, art, material and rhyme are the basic elements of mahogany furniture. Authentic mahogany furniture can't use nails, but must use tenon-mortise structure, which is more durable than furniture connected with nails.
The lines of mahogany are very clear. Even after painting, you can clearly see the wood grain under the strong light of the flashlight. After painting, the fake mahogany is very thick in color and has no texture to find. For buyers, choosing what they value may be the most effective investment strategy.
