What kind of wood is “African sour” and “East African rosewood”? O'Brien European mahogany furniture tells you!

“Hainan huanghuali, Indian rosewood, and red rosewood” have become the top three in the mahogany, and the Oberoi European-style mahogany furniture is the main mahogany furniture . However, not all manufacturers will use these materials in sufficient quantities, or use other wood instead, so the phenomenon of being expensive is very serious, so the wood with the name “tan”, “huanghuali” and “sour” more and more.

For the sandalwood "Red sandalwood, red sandalwood, green sandalwood, green sandalwood, white sandalwood, ebony, gold sandalwood, dragon and phoenix sandalwood", we have published their true body. In the past two years, in the mahogany furniture market, many manufacturers are selling furniture made of “African rosewood” and “East African rosewood” (referred to as “non-acid”), then this African rosewood and East African acid Is it a redwood? Is it a rosewood in the national standard of mahogany? What kind of wood is it? To figure out this problem, let us first look at the national standard redwood 5 genera, 8 categories, 33 kinds of wood, which ones?

Redwood national standard 5 genera, 8 types, 33 kinds of national standard rosewood in the rosewood are divided into: black rosewood and red rosewood. There are eight kinds of black rosewood: 1. Knife-shaped black Dalbergia, 2. Black Dalbergia, 3. Broad-leaved Dalbergia, 4. Lushi Black Dalbergia (commonly known as Big-leaved rosewood) 5. East African black Dalbergia, 6. Brazilian black rosewood, 7. Amazonian Dalbergia, 8. Belize Dalbergia. There are seven kinds of red rosewood: 1. Barry Dalbergia (commonly known as flowering branch), 2. Saizhou Dalbergia, 3. Sian rosewood (commonly known as Laohong red rosewood), 4. Villi Dalbergia, 5. Central American yellow Tan, 6. Aussie Dalbergia (commonly known as white rosewood), 7. Dwarf Dalbergia. Consumers need to pay special attention to the fact that the national standard mahogany must use the scientific name, only this can clarify the specifications of the mahogany furniture materials you purchase. For example, the national standard black rosewood has the black and yellow sandalwood of East Africa but there is no scientific name of the black rosewood of East Africa. It can be seen that the latter is also a kind of wood.
At present, most of the domestic African rosewood and East African rosewood logs are from Cameroon leaves, Gabon leaves, Zaire leaves, Mozambique. The Guangdong furniture industry has been using it for several years, and it is called Burke Sumu and Gu Yi Su Mu, commonly known as Hongguibao and Shen Guibao. In recent years, in order to increase the price, the merchants changed their name to the African rosewood and the East African rosewood. Because it was mixed with the sour branches, I thought it was high-grade mahogany furniture, but I couldn't find the two brothers compared to the national standard mahogany. It is obvious that they are not redwoods. In fact, they are just hardwoods.
According to the relevant academic materials, the data of the two species are as follows: 1. Burke Sumu, Latin name burkeaarricana, Sumuko, Burke. Medium to large arbor, up to 20 meters high, breast diameter up to 0.6 meters, the heart and sapwood color difference is obvious, the heartwood is purple reddish brown, often with deep and shallow strips, the growth wheel is slightly obvious. The porous material has a small number of holes and a medium size. The cross-section of the catheter is round and oval, and the main one is a single-tube hole. A few 2-3 diameter-diameter complex-tube holes are visible. The catheter molecules are single-perforated, and the inter-tube pores are interdigitated. The air dry density is about 0.81b 0.90 g/cm 3 .
2, ancient Yi Sumu, there are 15 species of this genus, 11 species are produced in tropical regions of Africa. Distribution: Mozambique and South Africa. Wood characteristics: It is a precious wood in Mozambique. The heartwood is nearly black with dark brown and light brown stripes. The texture is staggered, shiny, and strong. Moderate density, fast drying and high hardness.
Obviously, "non-acid" is not a rosewood, not a rosewood in the national standard of redwood. The material is far from a grade compared with the rosewood in the national standard. Its density and stability also have its merits. Better than the average solid wood is affirmative, the processing in production also has a certain degree of difficulty, slightly higher than the price of non-flowers, ranging from several thousand yuan per ton. The price of its finished furniture is far lower than the national real red rosewood (Sian rosewood), Huazhi (Bali Dalbergia), White Branch (Australia Dendrobium) and other real acid branches. Of course, as a furniture, as long as the price is moderate, it has a great advantage over ordinary solid wood. But if you spend a lot of money to buy as a treasure, it will become a big head.

Redwood "GB" and "General Technical Conditions for Mahogany Furniture" have been implemented for many years, but the market is still not satisfactory in terms of labeling norms, which has caused many consumers to confuse. In the face of doubts, most of the answers from merchants are vague. Even recently, I saw some well-known manufacturers labeling non-acid furniture: "African red rosewood", "African black rosewood", "East African black rosewood", it seems that the standard of the rosewood market does There is a long way to go. Consumers must learn more about the basic knowledge of mahogany when purchasing, and distinguish the low-level flicker of bad merchants.
