Recently, some book friends have had a private chat with me, and I have consulted a lot of ebony and mahogany, so I will talk about it here as much as I know.

Because of the plot, Ebony is mentioned in the first chapter of the book, but it is not expanded. The ebony that appears in the first chapter, as already mentioned in the text, refers to the gloomy wood. However, ebony, in fact, is a common name, under which there are two types of wood.

One of them, which refers to nature, is gloomy wood. Gloomy wood, commonly known as ebony, does not refer to a specific tree species, it is the trees in the forest that are subject to natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, and are buried deep under rivers, sediment and even the ocean.

There are actually many colors of gloomy wood, in addition to black, gray, brown, purple, but mainly black, so it is called ebony. Gloomy wood is found in Sichuan a lot, and there is even a "Ebony Art Museum" in Chengdu, of course, it seems more accurate to call it "Gloomy Wood Art Museum", but there is no way, everyone has already called it that.

The price of gloomy wood, because of the different tree species, varies greatly, for example, the red toon gloomy wood mentioned in the first chapter, which is relatively the cheapest, and then the golden silk nan gloomy wood, which is much more expensive, and other more expensive, such as the slope base gloomy wood.

Since it is said that the slope is gloomy and woody, I will say a few more words. Red toon and golden silk nan are easy to understand, they are tree species, and this slope tree is actually a kind of tree, but it is not very common, especially for northerners. Slope wood, belonging to the dipterocarp family, also known as Hainan Kirby wood, itself is relatively rare, so the slope is gloomy wood, not to mention.

Another kind of wood, also known as ebony, but has nothing to do with gloomy wood, refers to a kind of persimmon wood produced in Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, because the wood color is black, so it is called ebony, also called "horn black", and it has also been produced in Yunnan, China. Ebony is very similar to red sandalwood, it is easy to hollow in the middle, and it is not easy to produce large materials, but the texture is very good.

This is basically clear, some people say that when they talk about ebony, they may refer to gloomy wood, or they may refer to horned ebony wood, which can only be judged in combination with reality.

Then let's talk briefly about mahogany, which also appears in the book. Mahogany, in fact, can also be interpreted in two ways.

One is the red sour branch, which can be called mahogany alone, especially in the early years. For example, this circle of chairs is of rosewood, this case is of huanghuali, and this shelf bed is of mahogany; If you say so, this mahogany refers to the red sour branch.

However, in the national standard, more than 30 kinds of wood heartwood in 5 genera and 8 categories are uniformly defined as mahogany, so when it comes to mahogany, it is a wide range of various woods, red sandalwood, huanghuali, red sour branches, wenge, including ebony that has nothing to do with gloomy wood, all belong to mahogany.

Like ebony, the name of this mahogany is also a matter of individual twist. However, when we say "old mahogany", we often refer to red sour branches; And such a general overview of "mahogany furniture" is generally this category.

In addition, many book friends asked me when I would build a readership, which was built after it was ready to be put on the shelves, and there was only one requirement for joining the group: genuine readers. After joining the group, everyone can not only discuss the problem of books, but also discuss and improve the appreciation of antiques and jade. There is still a little time before it is put on the shelves, if you have comments and build yì now, you can add my penguin number first: 2931094359 (nine years of dust).
