How to look good at mahogany furniture

Okay, why do you say good, it's missing! How do you look at it, how do you still look at it? Those who lack are precious!

Judging by the following points.

Oil: The more the wood is used, the smoother, the more shiny, and the more comfortable it is to the touch, which is a very obvious feature, so the grease is the first point.

Density: For mahogany furniture, high density is a common feature. The density of mahogany furniture is the air-dry density of mahogany, that is, the ratio of the quality of the air-dry wood of the mahogany to the volume of the air-dry wood.

The mahogany with high wood density has large weight, dense texture, delicate wood grain, small pores, good carving "late knife", and the furniture made is durable and collectible.

Flexibility: The biggest reason why people choose mahogany furniture is that the wood of mahogany furniture is very mild, oily, the material is durable and not easy to rot, and it is rigid and soft. It is also because the material is oily and flexible, and the carved works can remain undeformed and unbroken for hundreds of years.

The texture of mahogany is very delicate, and both horizontal and vertical carvings are unimpeded, so there are many fine furniture carved by red sandalwood.

Texture: Natural texture is a work of art in nature, which can be said to be hard to find!! In addition to the type of wood and the excellent quality of the wood, the texture of the mahogany itself is also the main reason for determining the value of the mahogany furniture. This is for example:

Among the rosewood with crab claw patterns, the rosewood with a grimace pattern is more precious, and has more artistic value or collection value.

Color: Mahogany furniture is loved by consumers because of its warm color, elegant shape, strong and durable characteristics. The natural beauty of the elegant color is the more comfortable. Of course, this depends on the individual's eyes. The color of mahogany is a symbol of nobility in the culture of the Chinese people.

Fineness: Fineness determines the touch of mahogany. For example, the big red sour branch, because of its small brown eyes, will feel very comfortable to the touch, which is completely different from the rough feeling of ordinary wood, even with wood thorns.

Smell: Smell is also a major feature of wood. The scent of mahogany, smelled for a long time, is beneficial to the body. Just like the small leaf red sandalwood, the big red sour branch, the Burmese pear, etc., there will be some obvious smell characteristics, which makes people talk about it.

In view of the mixed phenomenon in the solid wood furniture market, how should consumers buy solid wood furniture? Four key steps are listed – "look, ask, knock and smell".

Look at the scar first. There is a natural color difference in all solid wood furniture, and there are certain differences in color and texture, and there are few defects in the appearance of solid wood veneer furniture, and its texture is clear and even better than that of all solid wood furniture. Consumers can use the texture and scar knots of solid wood to see the corresponding position on the exterior and back respectively, and if the correspondence is good, it is pure solid wood.

In addition, looking at the scar is also a good way to identify pure wood, look at the location of one side of the scar, and then find out if there is a corresponding texture on the other side.

Secondly, ask carefully whether the furniture is "all solid wood" and where MDF is used. Ordinary solid wood furniture is usually made of beech, white oak, ash, elm, catalpa, rubber wood, and oak, while precious mahogany furniture is mainly made of rosewood, wenge, and rosewood. The market for solid wood furniture is more chaotic, often shoddy, confusing tree species, it is best to buy brand-name products, and at the same time pay attention to the fact that the price of wood is rising day by day, too cheap is absolutely fraudulent.

Then, with a few taps on the wood surface, the solid wood parts make a crisper sound, while the wood-based panels have a deeper sound.

Last but not least, smell the furniture. Most solid woods have the aroma of tree species, pine has a pine resin smell, cypress has a light fragrance, and camphor wood has a clear camphor wood smell. However, fiberboard and MDF will have a strong pungent odor, especially in cabinet doors or drawers, and the two are easier to distinguish.
