BecauseOld elm is a material that prefers long insects, so it is difficult to find large pieces of old elm furniture that do not have a wormhole and the surface is very flat. So even if the wormhole has been treated, if you look closely, you can still see some clues

When identifying elm furniture, the main thing is to look at the texture, the texture of the wood should be of different thicknesses, and it shows an irregular pattern, such a pattern is generally a real elm, if the stripes are very uniform, then it is a counterfeit product.

One feature is that the pattern is clear and accessible, natural and beautiful, the pattern is regular, generally speaking, the grain of old elm is naturally generated in the annual rings, so it is irregular, and the color is not the same.

1. The shape of the old elm furniture should be beautiful from the outside, and the shape of the furniture, whether it is cumbersome or concise, depends on whether it is durable, and there is light and specialization, which does not belong.

Easily deformed. 2.

Most of the old elm wood is made from old beams that have been weathered for hundreds of years, and when you buy it, you can identify its age by looking at the number of wooden growth rings in its furniture; Secondly, the texture of the old elm wood is "solidified", and the surface of the furniture made is a very natural and shiny slurry color, rather than a very superficial gloss in the later processing, and there is a layer of dark yellow gum between the growth rings; In addition, old elm furniture that has not been polished and taken directly from the material usually has a deep natural texture on the surface, and some materials even have a lot of "appendages" such as stones and bullet shells.

Elm furniture is prone to insects, and old elm generally has old insect eyes, so it is difficult to find a wormhole in the market without large elm furniture. The treated wormhole is not obvious, but it can be seen if you look closely. The veneer material is completely free of wormholes and will be processed seamlessly.

Pay attention to the texture of the furniture to see if the direction of the wood grain is consistent.
