"The value of this precious wood I introduced in the Ming and Qing dynasties was second only to that of rosewood. However, now there is still hype about its packaging in the market. Its value has left rosewood far behind, and its price is compared with
The rosewood is dozens of times higher." Luo Tian asked everyone: "You should have guessed what it is."
The students below looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, one of them raised his hand timidly: "Teacher, is it Huanghuali?"
Luo Tian nodded in admiration: "That's right, it's Huanghuali. He also has a Chinese name called Jiangxiang Huangtan. Huanghuali is actually a yellow-brown 'Roodie' or 'Carambola'. It is a hardwood furniture of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The main materials are used, and the heart is yellow-brown. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, all exquisite wooden furniture were made of "Huanghuali". The texture may be hidden or appear, and the color is neither quiet nor noisy. It is regarded as a top-notch product and is highly praised by Ming.
The Qing craftsmen favored him, especially the literati in the prosperous Ming and Qing dynasties. The aesthetic taste of the officials and officials in the family made Huanghuali furniture outstanding and unparalleled during this period, and it was impossible from the perspective of artistic aesthetics or artificial science.
It can be called a treasure in the world's furniture art. It is also produced in some areas of Vietnam along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Hainan's output has been far surpassed in other regions several times. After the liberation, especially after the reform and opening up, due to excessive mining, the output was not as good as before.
There are also relevant regulations on limiting the flow of the flow."
"The origin of Huanghuali wood furniture is represented by Suzhou, with standardized workmanship and fine workmanship, which is a typical Su-style furniture. In addition, Huanghuali wood furniture was also produced in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the south, Guangdong and Guangxi and Hainan Island, which is called Guangzuo or
Cantonese furniture, its workmanship is slightly thicker and not as fine as Soviet-style furniture. Rosewood is hard and heavy, and the specific gravity is larger than that of mahogany. It immediately sinks into the bottom of the water. The brown eyes are smaller, and it is like crab claws and cow hair patterns.
After polishing, the surface of the wood is as delicate as the skin of a child. The material is better than that of Huanghuali. The color of the wood is darker than Huanghuali, with orange-red to dark amber color. Some rosewood furniture also have gray-brown color due to its age.
There are also grimace patterns in the wood grain.”
"Because there are also grimace patterns in the red sandalwood grains, the two are somewhat similar, but it is not difficult to learn to distinguish. Most of the grimace patterns of rosewood are round, some have eyes and mouths, but rare.
The texture of the hair of the old man and the hair of the old man. In addition, the cross-section of the rosewood pattern rosewood saw has a strong rosewood flavor, which is very unique."
"There is another point that distinguishes the two is that because rosewood pattern rosewood grows on the mainland, the rain is not sufficient, and the wood heart is hollow. As the saying goes, nine out of ten sandalwood are empty (heart), and it is also because the wood heart is hollow, so the flower pear is hollow.
Redwood is rarely made of large wood. Another feature that is easy to identify is that rosewood is oily and it will cause oil marks with a finger. Although the wood of yellowwood is warm and shiny, it does not have
Such a heavy oily texture. The above points are the difference between rosewood and rosewood and yellow rosewood. There is also a grass rosewood, which is also produced in the south. Its wood is sparse and has a large brown eyes, and is as rough as the texture of iron pear wood.
The color is light yellow to yellow, dry and dull, and also has grimaces. The material is far different from that of Huanghuali wood. When you encounter this kind of furniture, you can easily distinguish it without careful research."
"Teacher, you just said that the price of yellow rosewood is higher than that of rosewood. Can you tell me what the approximate price is?" As soon as everyone's interest came to mind when it came to value. Luo Tian smiled and shook it.
The head said helpless. This action made everyone think he was unwilling to say it, and they all shouted. Even the person standing outside listening to the class echoed. Luo Tian waved his hand and calmed everyone down: "Okay, then I'll just talk about it.
”
"The latest data in 2011 shows that the market price ranges from 200 yuan per catty to 20,000 yuan! The general scraps are about 200 yuan per catty, and they can be used to process Buddhist beads and can be used as furniture materials. The average price is above 3,500 yuan. ! Larger sheets are usually tens of thousands per kilogram! According to the current market price of authentic Hainan Huanghuali, small materials with a diameter of 7-10 cm are priced at 1,200-2,000 yuan per kilogram, and 10-13 Small medium-weight of centimeters is 2800-4000 yuan/catties, medium-weight of 13-20 cm in diameter is 4500-5800 yuan/catties, and round materials and long plates can reach 6000-8000 yuan/catties if they exceed 20 cm to 30 cm diameter. , even tens of thousands of yuan per pound! It can be said that every wood is one price! What I said is that the price of huanghuali is determined by factors such as density, size, texture and other factors of the wood."
"Wow", there was a burst of exclamation below. It's no wonder that a small piece of wood is worth thousands of yuan, and the price is comparable to gold. Luo Tian believes that after this class, these students will pay special attention to Huanghuali in the future.
.
Luo Tian clapped his face and calmed down the students below: "Okay, in the last five minutes, I will tell you the ten key points for identifying Huanghuali. I hope you will have the opportunity to understand it deeply in the future."
First, you need to "smell": the fragrance is pure, but it is spicy and fragrant. If you have a good nose, you can smell some sour smell.
Second, you must "taste": use your tongue to taste the slightly bitter taste.
Third, we must "look": the texture is smooth, the texture is clear and beautiful after the new material is polished, and the visual feel is excellent, with wheat ear patterns and crab claw patterns. The texture may be hidden or appear, and it is vivid and changeable.
Fourth, you need to "touch": the dry density of Huanghuali is equal to or greater than 0.76g/cubic centimeter. The wood is hard and has a high hardness. It feels good to touch, thick without thorns, and can feel oily. Even after touching, the fragrance lingers on your hands.
5. "Splash": Use a small knife to cut some pieces of powder, put them in a cup, and splash them with boiling boiling water, which will have a strong fragrance.
Six "color": Huanghuali heartwood is reddish-brown to dark reddish-brown or purple-redded brown, with uneven depth and shade, often with dark-brown stripes, and its sapwood is gray-brown or light yellow-brown.
7. "Find faults": There are some "ghost faces" on the surface of Huanghuali. Ghost faces are caused by scars during growth. The scars are different from those of ordinary trees. They have no rules and present beautiful patterns. People call them
It is called "ghost face". But not all Huanghuali have grimaces.
Eight "ask": If you say you have a large number of Hainan Huanghuali crafts, especially new ones, then you have to be careful! Because Hainan Huanghuali has long been a national first-class protected plant, the country has long refused to allow cutting.
.
Nine needs to be "planed": It has strong toughness and very small internal stress, which is the prominent characteristic of Huanghuali wood. It is not as brittle as mahogany, which makes it very easy for carpenters to identify during construction. The blade edge is very thin.
In the case, only huanghuali wood can have long spring-shaped shavings, while mahogany has only fragmented shavings.
Ten must be "pure": there should be no iron nails on Huanghuali furniture. Due to the precious materials and their great strength, the production and manufacturing of high-quality Huanghuali furniture requires fine carving just like jade carving
, The wooden tenon structure must not have iron nails, and only artists with a very deep production foundation can complete it.
"Okay, classmates, the time is up, I hope we have a chance to see each other again!" Luo Tian clapped his hands, but it was over, and there were still many students gathered around. Everyone raised countless questions, and it was about half a minute.
