How to judge the workmanship of mahogany furniture

This introduces the simplest but most practical way to buy mahogany, but it contains a lot of practical experience in it, and you need to have a rational understanding of mahogany furniture before you can do the following methods. Thank you.

Moving testing focus: furniture components The types of raw materials and the proportion of materials used in mahogany furniture are different, and the weight of furniture is also different. If you want to check if the selected mahogany furniture is enough, you can try to move the furniture.

Touch the key points of detection: the moisture content of the wood The moisture content of the wood directly affects the quality of the furniture. You can gently stroke the heartboard and seams of the furniture panel with your fingers or palms, and if it is smooth and smooth, it proves that the moisture content of the wood used to make the furniture has reached the standard of the north; If there is a slight crack or explosion, it proves that the internal moisture content of the wood used to make the furniture at that time is on the high side, and the quality is not up to standard.

The focus of the test: the quality of the wood itself Even the same kind of wood is good or bad, therefore, the purpose of testing the quality and thickness of the wood is to determine the quality of mahogany furniture. During the inspection, you can scratch with your fingernail in the direction perpendicular to the wood grain and observe and experience the size of the diameter of the hole in the wood pipe.

Usually the wood is more delicate and high-grade, the diameter of the pipe hole is small, and the degree of blocking of the wood is also small; The wood itself is rougher, and the diameter of the pipe hole is large, and the degree of blocking of the wood is greater when stroked.

Lifting and shaking Test focus: structural tightness Good mahogany furniture is known for its solid mortise and tenon structure, which can make the furniture firm and durable without nails. You can lift the leg on one side of the mahogany seat and let it fall to the ground with a gentle drop, and if it sounds crisp and powerful, it's a sign that the structure is just right.

In addition, for mahogany furniture such as tables and chairs, you can also use the shaking method to test the firmness of the tenon structure.

Turning the key points of detection: the proportion of materials mahogany furniture is divided into two kinds: "all mahogany" and "part of mahogany", and the price of the former is about twice as high as the latter. Often, you can turn small pieces of furniture, such as tables and chairs, upside down and see if the wood used for the interior and hidden parts of the main structure is exactly the same or with sapwood.

If it is identical, it is an "all-mahogany furniture" that uses all heartwood, and the heartwood is orange-red, purple-red-brown and black; In the case of sapwood, i.e. "partially mahogany furniture", the sapwood is yellowish and taupe.
