What kind of wood is Sandalwood, and what is the difference between it and Rosewood? Is Kotan collec

At that time, Chinese businessmen were pledged as collateral.

Sandalwood is the abbreviation of Côte d'Ivoire small-leaved red sandalwood and Côte d'Ivoire sandalwood.

The main meaning of Ketan, from the original two-male sumac, to the later Côte d'Ivoire, sumac, red iron dal collapse, etc., as long as there is a more high-end unknown new wood, they will replace the former and then redefine it as Ketan. At present, most of the sandalwood on the market is African small-leaved red sandalwood because of its superior material.

First, the morphological characteristics are different1. Sandalwood: light red, the surface of the wood, especially near the center of the log, is generally yellow, golden yellow mixed with tulip color, close to the color of the outer part of the log scarlet, about 30 40 minutes later, the color gradually turns purple red and tends to be consistent.

2. Ebony: the heartwood is pitch black or black-brown, the sapwood is nearly white, and the growth wheel is not obvious.

Second, the air-dry density is different1. Sandalwood: air-dry density, its color and density are also too different from sandalwood rosewood; Côte d'Ivoire olive wood, heartwood yellow-brown or pink-brown, air-dry density, its color and density are too different from sandalwood rosewood.

2. Ebony: air-dry density.

Third, the distribution is different1. Ketan: Harvested from African primeval forests.

2. Ebony: This species is often imported from Cameroon, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea, and the quantity is relatively large.

Both Sandalwood and Rosewood are similar woods, and despite their similarities, they are still different and different.

Introduction to Cotan.

Let's start with a brief description of Ketan! Cotanyl is the abbreviation of Cote d'Ivoire sandalwood, Cotanyl comes from the primeval forest of Africa, Cotanyl is slightly less oily than Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, and the difference is also very large, which is one of the differences between Cotanylus and small-leaved red sandalwood. At present, the phenomenon of using sandalwood as a low-grade imitation of Indian small-leaved red sandalwood on the market is still relatively common, so we must pay attention to distinguishing the difference between the red sandalwood and the small-leaved red sandalwood.

Before understanding the difference between them, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of these two types of wood.

Identification of Cotan.

In the first batch of local specialty timber exported to China from Côte d'Ivoire and other West African countries, merchants named the good timber in their hands as Cotan. The heartwood is yellow-brown or pink, and the air-dry density is very different, and its color and density are very different from those of the small-leaved red sandalwood. It is a gum lacquer tree, light red, and the center of the wood is generally yellow, golden yellow, mixed with tulip color, but the density is close, or g cm3.

This is the quality identification of Ketan, for the above introduction, the difference between Ketan and small-leaved red sandalwood will also be distinguished!

Introduction to Rosewood parvifolia.

There are many kinds of wood in the genus Pterocarpus, but there is only one kind of red sandalwood recognized in the botanical community, "sandalwood red sandalwood", commonly known as "small leaf sandalwood", mainly produced in India and the Malay Peninsula, the Philippines and other tropical places, the morphological characteristics of small leaf sandalwood are trees, the trunk is straight, the bark is dark brown, and the deep lobed rectangular flakes. The leaves of the trunk are dark red. The above have made a brief introduction to the appearance and shape of the sandalwood and the small-leaved red sandalwood, and now we know that the difference between the sandalwood and the small-leaved red sandalwood has a certain difference in appearance.

Identification of Pterostilbene microphylla.

There are more than 10 ways to identify pterocarpus, let's talk about the important and easy to distinguish among them: 1Take a piece of wood and put it in water, if it is a small leaf of red sandalwood, sink in the water.

2.Take a small amount of wood chips and put it into a glass filled with water, if it is a small leaf of red sandalwood, the top layer of the water can be seen after 12 hours with blue oil-like fluorescence, and the fluorescence is more obvious after 24 hours, which is mainly used to exclude other sour branches and non-red sandalwood such as Lu's black sandalwood; 3.Kanban surface color.

If it is a small-leaved red sandalwood, the new profile is orange-red, and for a long time, it is dark purple or black-purple, often with light color and purple-black stripes.

The above is the difference between Sandalwood and Rosewood microphylla.

The new and old materials of red sandalwood.

The key difference between the old and new materials of Pterostilbene microphylla is that one is wild and the other is artificially raised; The new one is easier to make than the old one, and the timber period is relatively short, but the wood material is not as good as the old material. You can simply identify the small-leaved red sandalwood from the shape, color, pattern, brown line, and fluorescent growth rings of the wood, and you can make a judgment on the difference between the family sandalwood and the small-leaved red sandalwood.

In fact, the biggest difference between the small leaf red sandalwood and the blood sandalwood is that the red sandalwood is denser than the blood sandalwood, and the red sandalwood of the same material volume is heavier than the blood sandalwood, according to the standard, the weight of the small leaf red sandalwood is about 65 grams, and the blood sandalwood is only about 60 grams. The taste of blood sandalwood has a sour taste, similar to the taste of sour branches, followed by looking at the texture, I won't say much about the texture, because you don't know the red sandalwood you still don't know the blood sandalwood texture, and you can exclude the blood sandalwood directly with the elimination method if you know the red sandalwood. China's annual online shopping plus physical store purchase of bracelets of the transaction volume of billions of billions, but basically ten sandalwood nine fake, in addition to the three famous sandalwood represented by the children and grandchildren of the small leaf red sandalwood, basically ordinary buyers are difficult to buy**.

Glad to answer for you :

The full name of Cote d'Ivoire red sandalwood is a kind of wood in Côte d'Ivoire, which is characterized by delicate wood and almost no brown eyes, ruddy color, slightly lower density than small leaf red sandalwood without obvious taste, red sandalwood is characterized by cow hair pattern and Venus, and Ketan does not have these two characteristics, so it is rare to use Ketan to pretend to be Indian small-leaved red sandalwood.

If you want to easily identify sandalwood and red sandalwood through **, I can only say, I'm sorry, there is basically no such possibility, especially when it is made into a finished product such as a bracelet and the like. The best way to identify this kind of identification is only to repeatedly explore and compare, such as going to the big store of red sandalwood to repeatedly look at red sandalwood things, get started, and then compare, and estimate that you can judge. Generally speaking, it is necessary to learn to identify by yourself, at least it is possible to see nearly 1,000 items, or estimate it for more than a year.

For example, let me tell you the difference between sandalwood and red sandalwood: 1, moistness, 2, texture, 3, density. There is no moistening of the sandalwood, and the texture is similar to the red sandalwood, but the poor material of the red sandalwood may also be the same as the red sandalwood, especially the fast-growing forest red sandalwood that many people have recently spread on the Internet.

But what is the moist of red sandalwood? It's hard to express it to you through a **. If you need to identify, it's best to see the picture above.

To distinguish between Pterostilbene and Sandalwood, there seems to be only one way that can be used. That's the magnifying glass. With a 100x lens, the difference is immediately apparent. The picture below is a small-leaved red sandalwood gold star material.

You see how much I support you, this is pure Ketan, I do it myself.

With a shake of his fingers, he got three points to his hand, held the soy sauce in his hand, lowered his head and walked violently, and returned when he met the sticker, and walked ...... when he fished for experience

There is no aroma, no Venus, no cow hair, color (hue?) It's also different. It's easy to break. You take some ** of the string in your hand and help you break it.

Because of the extremely slow growth of the small leaf red sandalwood, the density is quite high, and the wood grain forms a little bit like cow hair like a general pattern, we call this unique pattern "cow hair pattern", as long as you look carefully, you will be able to find the cow hair pattern.

Walking down the street today, I suddenly saw a circle of people. When I got closer, it turned out that two women were fighting. I thought to myself, so many people have persuaded me, so I won't join in the fun.

Just turned around to leave, he suddenly heard a voice, "Pick her clothes, pull her pants, and see how she behaves in the future." Oh, I'll go, who are these people? So I was back in the crowd ...

Of course, it's the purple sandalwood, because the purple sandalwood belongs to mahogany, while the sandalwood is not.

Cotan"The name of the tree species is Côte d'Ivoire red sandalwood, also known as No. 2 sandalwood, African small-leaved red sandalwood, is a general term for a series of timber exported to our country by West African countries, although the heartwood of the sandalwood is bright red, but it does not belong to the mahogany. As for the definition of "Ketan", there are often different statements, from the initial two-male Sumu to the later Côte d'Ivoire Lanren wood, lacquer gum tree, red iron dal and so on. It has been confirmed with senior timber research scholars in China that the sandalwood that everyone often sees on the market is basically all"Glossy variegated beanwood"。

The distinction between Ke Tan and Zi Guang Zhan is also relatively simple, the first thing is to smell the taste, the sandalwood of Zi Guang Tan Heng is rich and obvious, and Ke Tan does not have any special fragrance on the stool.

But if we are not good at smelling the fragrance of red sandalwood, then we can also distinguish the chicken wing pattern, the chicken wing pattern of the purple sandalwood is caused by the density difference inside the tree, the chicken wing pattern of the general purple sandalwood will not be too obvious and the number will not be too much, and the sandalwood often has a whole body"Chicken wing pattern", in fact, this kind of Ketan"Chicken wing pattern"It is an axial parenchyma and thick-walled wood fibrous cells, forming an alternating shade of texture like chicken wings, which looks like the pattern on our fingers.
