The process of painting mahogany furniture

I don't know if the black lacquer you are talking about is raw lacquer. Because I'm a lacquer maker. The lacquer will have a black surface when the air oxidizes. But when he rubbed it on the furniture, it was a little thinner. It's going to be a little deeper, not going deep.

Also, what you see is not lacquer, but color water. Some dark woods will be toned with black water. Increase the color uniformity of the entire set of furniture.

Mahogany is a precious wood, and it is precisely because of its preciousness that some unscrupulous businessmen in many places are shoddy and fake. The standards issued by the state standardize the title of mahogany, and 33 kinds of wood from 3 families, 5 genera are listed as mahogany, such as rosewood, rosewood, incense sticks, sorrel wood, ebony, wenge, etc. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of them have been used by officials, and they are mainly dark colors, which basically form a fixed impression in people's minds.

In fact, real mahogany furniture is mostly painted with varnish, and the lacquer itself is transparent, allowing people to appreciate the beautiful texture of the mahogany forest; The chair doesn't even need to be painted, and it naturally gets brighter and brighter when you sit on it. The blackened paint you mentioned is rare, maybe the merchant wants to promote something different, maybe the owner has his own unique personality, maybe there are other reasons.

The black lacquer is for antique, and it is also for the black red sandalwood to pretend to be black red sandalwood, the black red sandalwood is the most expensive, the hardest wood, but the black paint will not completely cover the wood grain, if there is a cover, it will be self-defeating!

Mahogany furniture paint construction process:

1. Embedded putty is used to fill nail holes, insect eyes, gaps, cracks and other defects. Use coarse sandpaper to polish all the areas that need to be painted, pay attention to the corners not to polish too much, and keep the original shape of the furniture. Dip a cloth in water to make it semi-wet, and wipe the powder off the freshly sanded furniture.

2. Take the fine sandpaper and re-polish it, paying attention to the corner. Then use a cloth to clean the powder.

3. Take the paint, brush, and open the paint cover. Dip the brush in a paint bucket and don't get too much paint at once. The rules for painting are from top to bottom, from left to right. Be careful to paint corners and hidden areas as well.

4. Leave the painted furniture for four to five hours until the paint is dry. Also, after the paint has dried, use fine sandpaper to sand the furniture from beginning to end. This time the purpose of grinding is to smooth out the uneven parts of the paint, which is conducive to continuing to paint later.

5. Follow the second step above to paint for the second time. Note that if the paint is too thick, you can add an appropriate amount of rubber water, dilute the paint and then brush. Then continue to dry and sand.

6. Brush the paint again according to the above steps, so that the paint of the furniture is finished.

Mahogany furniture is generally not painted, but the lacquer hides the beauty of the mahogany grain.
