    Mahogany furniture is a precious hardwood furniture, most of which can be preserved for thousands of years, and many mahogany furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties is still intact. However, some wood friends reported that after storing the mahogany furniture they bought at home for a period of time, they found that the sawdust was eaten by insects! Why is that?

    It stands to reason that the heartwood of mahogany is the part from the pith of 29 kinds of wood to the inner side of the sapwood in the new national standard of mahogany, which no longer has activated cells, high density, deep color, hard and antiseptic, and rarely insects under normal circumstances. The sapwood is the part between the heartwood and the bark, commonly known as "white bark", which has low density and high nutrition, and is easy to be eaten by insects.

    Therefore, when encountering the situation of mahogany furniture being eaten by insects, most wood friends think that the manufacturer has used white leather or bought fake mahogany.

    Although many of the insect-eaten mahogany furniture does use fake mahogany that is not the national standard mahogany or wood with sapwood, this is not the case in all cases, and it cannot be said absolutely!

    Some mahogany species, such as the African bean wood produced in the Congo (wenge, commonly known as African chicken wings), although it is also a national standard mahogany, but it is also prone to insect moth, and often from the leather wood has been bored into the heartwood, after the log is sawn into the plank, there is often a large range of wormholes and can not be used, which has become a problem that plagues the manufacturer.
