Why does mahogany furniture have powder repair, is it fake or normal

Powder repair is a patch made of wood powder on the surface of wood, in short, putty made of sawdust and glue, which is used to repair holes or scratches in furniture wood and play a beautifying role. Powder repair is a skill required by manufacturers and after-sales services, but it will also become a shoddy counterfeiting method for some businesses.

Powder repair can only be avoided as much as possible during production, from the selection of materials to the production process of excellence, and strive to reduce patches; However, powder supplementation is unavoidable, due to holes, forks and other reasons, in order to play a beautifying role, powder supplementation is required. Under the premise of not affecting the appearance and quality, it is normal to use a little powder, but the use of a large area is a fake and abnormal practice.

1. Powder repair caused by engraving.

In the complex production process of mahogany furniture, each link may have cracks, cracks, forks, etc., especially milling machines and chainsaws, which are very easy to produce splits under high-speed movement. Look at the size of the fork, if it is very small, it can be polished off in the later stage; If it is a little deeper, maybe the later grinding can not be completely worn off, so you can only powder it.

Mahogany furniture carving will have a small collapse if you are a little careless, some wood fibers are not all along one direction, some places are staggered growth of fibers, these places are easy to drop slag when carving, so it needs to be properly powdered for beautification.

2. Powder repair caused by scraping.

Due to the inconsistent growth direction of wood fibers, it is inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of bifurcation at the intersection of the two directions when scraping, and if it is stretched, it can be worn off by grinding; However, if it is stretched large, there will still be small pits after grinding, so it needs to be powdered.

3. Powder repair caused by cracking.

After the new furniture is made, there will be some internal stresses, such as the internal stress of wood and the stress of furniture mortise and tenon. When there is a change in temperature or humidity, these stresses are released, making it easy to create small cracks at the mortise and tenon joints, or fine cracks at the fibers in the direction of the fibers. Since the furniture has already been made, these cracks can only be repaired by powdering.
