    In terms of color, the old mahogany is darker, mostly purple-red, and some are similar to red sandalwood, but the color is lighter.

    The texture is delicate, the brown eye is significantly less than that of the new sorrel wood, and the density and feel are excellent.

    Its wood is hard, delicate, can sink in water, and generally needs to grow for more than 500 years before it can be used.

    The most obvious thing that distinguishes it from other woods is that its wood grain is often interspersed with dark brown or black stripes in the deep red, giving it an antique feeling. Old mahogany not only grows for a long time, but also has been washed over hundreds of years after being cut down.

    Now the old mahogany generally refers to the mahogany imported from Nanyang in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the old mahogany is wider, the brown eyes are slender, the specific gravity is between the red sandalwood and the yellow pear, and the submerged one is the best.
