    The simple identification methods of mahogany mainly include looking, smelling, asking, cutting, and dipping.

    One look: Observe the three sections of the wood, i.e., the cross-section, the chord section and the radial section. Most of the characteristics of the wood can be observed in the first two sections. For example, wenge wood has obvious chicken wing patterns on the chord section.

    Second smell: Different types of mahogany have their own smell characteristics, either fragrant or sour or no special smell, just as perfume has different fragrance types. For example, Cochin Sandalwood (big red sour branch) has a sour fragrance, Rosewood has a faint milk fragrance, and Dalbergia (Huanghuali) has a fragrance and is elegant.

    Three questions: ask about the name of the wood, the place of origin, the density, the moisture content and other information.

    Four cuts: When buying furniture and other products, the most direct thing is to touch with your hands, touch the material of the wood, and weigh the weight of the wood. If necessary, cut or scrape the surface of the wood (usually the back or hidden area) to see the texture of the face.

    In this way, the preliminary identification before the scientific examination can be done in place.

    Five dips: Some rosewoods of the genus Rosewood, such as Rosewood and Rosewood, will show a layer of blue-green fluorescence after soaking in water for a period of time. To some mahogany furniture enterprises stacking raw materials, in case of water immersion or rainy days, you can see the blue fluorescence of the liquid surface of the water accumulation, which can be preliminarily identified as rosewood.
