Mahogany identification is a very complex subject, and Antonio and Bart spent a long time and used many methods just to identify the small leaf red sandalwood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two taught Li Du and Hans the method of physical identification.

For example, look at the distribution of pipe holes in the cross-section.

If it is a real red sandalwood, the diameter of the tube hole in the whole growth wheel is slightly equal and evenly distributed, otherwise it is a fake red sandalwood.

You can also look at the growth rings, which can be observed in the cross-section of the wood, and unlike other woods, the growth rings of the small-leaved red sandalwood are not obvious, which is a distinct feature.

In addition, you can look at the color of the surface of the board, the new section of the small leaf red sandalwood is orange, and it will become dark purple or black purple after a long time, and it will also have light color and purple and black stripes.

After watching the two demonstrate these identification methods, Hans was dumbfounded: "It's too complicated, isn't it?"

Bart shrugged and said, "Oh, I'm only halfway through it now, come on, I'll continue to introduce, and the following is judged by smell." ”

"Rosewood microphylla has a unique fragrance when rubbing against objects, similar to sandalwood, but lighter. Especially after a quick filing with a file, the flavor is stronger. ”

Hans continued to be dumbfounded: "......"

People like Li Du who are studious eventually give up studying, it is too difficult, and it is too test of experience.

For example, the knife cutting technique at the time of observation requires a cross-section to be cut with one knife and cannot be returned.

After a complicated examination, the results were only available from noon to evening.

Li Du bet right, these woods are real mahogany!

Not only these woods, but also the planks obtained from warehouse 46 are also real mahogany.

Four wooden boxes with eight rosewoods, the most precious is the most complex identification of the small-leaved rosewood, which is a real rosewood from India, weighing nearly 400 kilograms, which is of great value.

There are also black sour branches, ebony wood, Laos big red sour branches, Southeast Asian white sour branches, etc., and the eight woods cover eight varieties of mahogany, all of which are genuine.

After getting the appraisal certificate, Hans and Li Du high-fived and shouted excitedly: "Thank God, we are so lucky!

Li Du nodded, well, this is a human saying.

Then the two discussed, why did there be precious genuine mahogany in the Tran Mahogany Pavilion, when there were only fake furniture, and they hadn't taken it with them?

No one knows the real answer, and the guess of the two is the same as Li Du's initial guess, although the Redwood Pavilion makes fakes, they make high-end fakes.

The fake mahogany furniture in the warehouse is either counterfeited and bleached with superb craftsmanship, or it is veneered.

They did buy some real mahogany at a high price, used some of it, and put some of it useless and put it in the warehouse.

Later, the Redwood Pavilion made a lot of money by auctioning, and in order to prevent anyone from discovering the problem, they immediately left Holbrook after making the money.

The remaining unused real mahogany was left in the warehouse along with the fakes, and for some reason the counterfeiters did not take them away and did not come back to take them.

In this way, the final warehouse lease contract expired and the warehouse company put them up for auction.

Hans asked the two men to value the timber, and the most valuable was the small-leaved red sandalwood, which was worth about $40,000 a ton at a market price of $100,000 per ton.

The second is the big red sour branch, which costs about $20,000 per ton, and this wood has 500 kilograms and can be sold for $10,000.

The value of other rosewoods is relatively low, most are less than $10,000 a ton, and can be worth about $30,000 combined.

Li Du summed it up, and all the mahogany had a value of more than 80,000, which was not bad.

Hans was a little disappointed and said, "Isn't mahogany expensive, and why are most mahogany worthless?"

Antonio shrugged and said: "This is the market price, some are indeed very expensive, Chinese rosewood can be sold for 1.5 million US dollars a ton, and Vietnamese huanghuahuali can also be sold for 200,000 US dollars a ton, but you don't." ”

It often takes hundreds of years or thousands of years for rosewood to become a wood, this kind of wood is extremely rare, and the furniture made is also extremely expensive.

It may be for this reason that the Redwood Pavilion does not make counterfeit rosewood furniture.

It may also be that the mahogany pavilion can't find real rosewood to venerate, so it doesn't make fakes.

Li Du made a guess, and Hans was puzzled: "No, when the first warehouse was opened, didn't someone say that there was yellow rosewood?"

"They guessed, do you really believe those people's words?" Li Du said angrily.

The profit of 80,000 yuan is not big, but it is better than not earning it, of course, it is better than being fooled by Pol and Rick, thinking about Rick's loss of more than 100,000 yuan, it is really miserable.

Hans was looking for a mahogany buyer, and Li Du was going to Boston, so he had to send the dodo skeleton specimen, and the other party offered a high price of 1 million!

He didn't want too many people to know about this, so he took Godzilla and Ooku to Boston without Hans.

If it weren't for the fear that the other party would dispose of him for a million, he wouldn't even want to take these two people with him.

Boston is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts and the largest city in the New England region of the northeastern United States.

The city is located on the Atlantic coast of the northeastern United States, and according to the American territorial division, it belongs to the eastern region and Arizona belongs to the western region.

Mr. Li had never left Arizona, and the trip to the East made him nervous.

However, Boston is a safe and secure city, it is an old city, founded in 1630, and it has a great place in the United States, and even American history began in this city.

The birth of the United States was born out of the Revolutionary War, and the trigger for this war was the Boston Tea Party.

Li Du learned these histories in middle school, got on the plane, and introduced them again in the brochure of the plane, and there was also a Chinese introduction manual.

There are many good universities in and around Boston, and a large number of Chinese students live here, so there is a lot of things about Chinese.

Li Du is very interested in the geography and history and culture of the world, which is why he flew to Boston to make a deal in person, otherwise it would be safer to invite the other party to Flagpole City.

The taxi drove from the airport to the city, and then Ooku told him to stop and they walked into the city.

Li Du asked, "Why do you want to walk?"

"The city is compact and walkable, not carable, especially in the Beacon Hill area, which is the oldest and most bustling neighborhood in Boston," Ao said. ”

Li Du didn't care about walking, but they were carrying a taxidermy skeleton of a dodo, which was nearly a meter tall and too big.

Godzilla picked up the large wooden box without complaint, and under his burly figure, the wooden box was like a toy box, successfully solving the problem that made Li Du embarrassed.
