How to distinguish mahogany furniture mixed with white leather

There are four ways to judge the white skin on mahogany furniture: look at the color, look at the appearance, look at the texture, and look at the naked body.

1. Look at the color.

Before the mahogany is painted, it is brown, purple-red, purple-black, and black. The white skin is very pale in color, close to white. Before painting and waxing, it can be distinguished almost at a glance.

2. Look at the appearance.

If it is a finished furniture made of precious mahogany, it is generally impossible to use dark colors such as black and red for processing, and it is usually carefully finished and polished, and painted directly with raw lacquer to fully reveal the pattern to maintain the appreciation value. If the color of the finished product is black or the pattern cannot be seen, it can generally be determined to be non-mahogany, or mixed with white bark. Consumers can use the bright light flashlight to observe and identify.

The color difference between the white skin and the heartwood is very obvious.

3. Look at the lines.

The white skin is the part that wraps the heartwood, and its grain is very shallow, so the texture varies greatly in the place where it meets the heartwood. When looking at it, if the consumer finds that the grain between the wood grains is very different, or if there is no grain somewhere, they should beware that it is likely to be doped with white skin.

4. Look at the naked body.

Unpainted and unwaxed furniture is bare furniture, without any disguise, and it is easy to identify whether there is white skin. Consumers can buy this kind of furniture, and then ask a carpenter to wax or paint it, although this method is a little troublesome, but the whole process is under consumer supervision, at a glance.

Generally speaking, on the cross section of the log, the wood with a certain thickness near the edge of the inner side of the bark is called sapwood, which is generally lighter in color; In factories, it is commonly known as "white skin" or "white edge".

Consumers should also pay attention to one thing when buying. The standard of "dark precious hardwood furniture" stipulates that the material used for the front surface of the product should be without sapwood.

If you find white skin on the front side, do not buy it. Because although the white leather has been treated, if it is rubbed for a long time, it is easy to reveal its original face, which will affect the beauty of the overall furniture.
