Please help me tell me a little more about rosewood!

Every inch of sandalwood is golden, and it takes a hundred years to grow an inch, so it should be very expensive.

It should be India's small-leaved red sandalwood, also known as chicken blood red sandalwood, which is the most precious wood known at present, and is the highest grade of red sandalwood.

1. Rosewood is a common name, just like mahogany (including white sour branches and red sour branches) is also a common name, and sandalwood in many countries is also commonly known as red sandalwood, of course, including Indian red sandalwood, that is, the Ming Dynasty royal special or tribute to important officials (Wei Zhongxian is one of the examples, mainly the power to invade the government and the opposition, many people look for him as a backer or buy officials).

2. The red sandalwood we identify should be India's small-leaved red sandalwood, also known as chicken blood red sandalwood, which is the most precious wood known at present, and is the highest grade of red sandalwood.

3. In the market of Suzhou and Shanghai, there are often erhu engraved with "blood sandalwood boutique" or red sandalwood, in fact, more than 90% of it is African sandalwood.

4. The quality of African sandalwood and chicken blood red sandalwood is very different, and its value cost is 1 4 to 1 6 of blood sandalwood, and the quality of the musical instrument produced is equivalent to the new material old mahogany (red acid branch) grade, which cannot be compared with blood sandalwood.

5. Rosewood is an evergreen sub-arbor, five or six zhang high, the leaves are compound leaves, the flowers are butterfly-shaped, the fruit has wings, the wood is very strong, and it sinks when it enters the water. In the Ming Dynasty, rosewood was valued by the royal family so a large number of felling, the domestic rosewood was lit in a short period of time, and went to Nanyang generation called procurement, in fact, it was plundered, so the large materials were used at this stage, to the Qing Dynasty, the rosewood that can be harvested is mostly small materials, under the lack of supply, the rosewood has been collected by the official family and handed over. Therefore, there are few red sandalwood furniture among the people.

6. Until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, basically rosewood has been almost extinct. The Indian red sandalwood used in the erhu was actually reproduced on the border of Yunnan many years ago, and this material has not been a big material, and now it is a lack of supply, so there is a generation of African blood wood, according to records, there are more than 15 kinds of red sandalwood wood, which are produced in various places, including Central and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, among which Southeast Asia has the best material, and India has the best texture. However, there is a previous outline of Indian red sandalwood, which records that the red sandalwood tree is tall and grows several times, and the second half shows that the red sandalwood grows slowly and cannot be grown for hundreds of years.

Rosewood is a common name for Chinese, not a tree species.

At present, it is recognized that the red sandalwood, which is also the precious furniture material of the Ming and Qing dynasties, is produced with the sandalwood red sandalwood (scientific name) in southern India

Commonly known as, small-leaved red sandalwood.

The scientific name of large-leaved red sandalwood is Lu's black sandalwood, produced in Madagascar, and should be classified as a sour branch wood of the genus Dalbergia, not red sandalwood, and it is just a name to confuse the public.

Rosewood is sandalwood rosewood, and there is nothing to say about rosewood. What large-leaved red sandalwood, black sandalwood, green sandalwood and the like have nothing to do with red sandalwood, they are all a kind of business behavior of merchants moving closer to red sandalwood. It can be said that 99% of the products called rosewood are not real sandalwood rosewood.

In addition: even the real sandalwood red sandalwood is divided into three, six, nine and so on, some are plantations and some are wild forests, and the age of the trees is also different. 90% of the commodities on the market are red sandalwood plantations, which are worse in texture than wild red sandalwood, and they are not expensive.

The old red sandalwood wild forest wood is scarce, expensive, and generally can only be used to make small pieces of wood, and it is difficult to make furniture.

Remember, sandalwood is not red sandalwood at all.

And the current Indian small-leaved red sandalwood is the ancient red sandalwood.

The space has collected a lot of information.

Rosewood is an arbor, also known as green dragon wood, yellow cedar wood, rose wood, palmetto wood, and feather leaf sandalwood. Rosewood is found in Taiwan, Guangdong and southern Yunnan in China. Born in sloping forests or cultivated in gardens.

It is also found in India, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Myanmar. The wood is hard and dense, the heartwood is red, and it is an excellent wood for construction, musical instruments and furniture, resin and wood medicine.

History of BotanyRosewood was first found in tropical forests and islands in India. Chinese love rosewood, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it is a good furniture material for chariots and courts, and it is the world's top furniture material. The treasure house of the Shokain Temple in Nara, Japan, where the artifacts of the emperors of the past dynasties are preserved, includes several ebony artifacts given to the emperor during the Tang Dynasty of China.

According to historical records, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, China began to use ebony and red sandalwood to make furniture and handicrafts. The Tang Dynasty was a period of maturity for Chinese furniture, and it was a major leap in the history of the development of digital furniture.

The allegorical symbol of red sandalwoodThe red sandalwood tree symbolizes wealth, its dense branches, inlaid with emerald green luster leaves, bring people a sense of wealth, prosperity and happiness, can bring good luck to people, and introduce wealth and fortune into the home, so people often like to place it at home to cultivate, which can not only beautify the environment, but also can imply a happy life and wealth.

Glad to answer for you :

Your piece of wood is not from the small-leaved red sandalwood, this is from the blood sandalwood, which is a kind of wood in Zambia, which is often used in the market to pass off the small-leaved red sandalwood. Real rosewood won't be so rough and dry, and it won't have this color.

Methods for identifying rosewood.

1. Look at the distribution of pipe holes on the cross-section.

If it is sandalwood and red sandalwood, the diameter of the tube hole in the whole growth wheel is slightly equal and evenly distributed; The cross-section can be cut with a sharp knife, it is best not to return the knife, ** can be coated with some water, it is best to use a ten-fold magnifying glass or a higher magnifying glass to observe.

2. Look at the growth wheel.

If the growth wheel is observed in the cross-section, if the growth wheel is not obvious in the case of sandalwood and red sandalwood, you can pay attention to the observation of others, and draw conclusions from a variety of combinations.

3. Kanban surface material color.

If it is sandalwood rosewood, 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. When the rosewood is scraped with a knife, the lining is reddish-brown, which contrasts significantly with the purple-brown color of the skin. After a period of time, the cut part will slowly turn purple-brown like the epidermis due to oxidation.

4. Smell the aroma.

If sandalwood red sandalwood has a very faint fragrance when rubbing with objects, it has a very weak fragrance (like sandalwood fragrance, but not the same as the burning incense we smell in our daily life), and the smell is very strong when filing with a file and a table saw.

5. Generally, the density of wood is less than that of water, but the density of rosewood is greater than that of water, and it will sink when placed in water. Wipe the surface of the red sandalwood with concentrated alcohol, the alcohol turns brownish-red, and the more you rub the alcohol, the stronger the color. The surface is quickly oxidized to a purple-brown color.

6. The color of the handicrafts carved out of the red sandalwood is the natural color of the red sandalwood oxidation, no need to paint, only need to use cowhide polishing and waxing, if you encounter lacquered red sandalwood items, most of them are fakes.
