Jin Muchen rolled his eyes, he didn't say much, in front of Uncle Fang, a big man in the gloomy wood, it was wrong to say more.
"Do you think that golden silk and red sandalwood are both Chinese cabbage? There are few trees alive now, and you still want gloomy wood? There are few of these two kinds of trees, and the golden silk nan is mainly distributed in the Xichuan region of ancient China, and the red sandalwood is also in a few places, and there is no one on the North American continent at all. Have you not woken up from your dreams? There is such a yew, you can steal the fun! ”
After listening to Uncle Fang's words, Jin Muchen realized that even if you find gloomy wood in North America, why don't you want to find the gloomy wood of Jin Sinan and Rosewood?
It seems that he thought too simple before, you must know that on the way back, but he is still wondering whether to go back and look for it when the time comes, maybe he can find the gloomy wood of Jin Si Nan or Rosewood, and now listening to Fang Bo say this, his hopes are completely shattered.
He scratched his head, and then asked Fang Bodao, "What about the market price of this yew gloomy wood now?" ”
"It's good, although it's not the top, but the price is not low, it's a mid-to-high-end product of gloomy wood. And your root is so large, so complete, there are no cavities, and the heart of the tree is not rotten, such a gloomy wood is the most suitable for furniture. In China, such a piece of wood can definitely be sold for tens of millions, if it is made into finished furniture. Hey. That's definitely worth more. That's right. When I go back later, I'll return all the furniture I ordered, and we can live in front of us anyway. With these materials, you just wait, wasn't those petrified wood used to decorate the dining room and living room, hehe, with these gloomy woods, I can create a set of gloomy wood furniture for you. ”
As soon as Uncle Fang said this, Jin Muchen immediately had black lines on his head. This old man's mind is really fast enough, but he has a point.
If you don't use these good things, can't you still spend money on those furniture?
However, those Western-style furniture is not without benefits at all, after all, the modern design is more ergonomic, whether it is sitting or lying down, it is more comfortable than those classical Chinese furniture.
Thinking of this, Jin Muchen said to Uncle Fang: "Uncle Fang." You want to make a home out of this wood, and I have no objection. But can we innovate? ”
"Huh? What is the innovation method? ”
Fang Bo raised his eyebrows and asked Jin Muchen to arrive.
"I mean, can we not all build those Chinese furniture, you also know that most of our Chinese furniture is square shape, sitting, lying down, it is uncomfortable for a long time."
"Well, this is no problem, but I can't do it, I'll ask a few more Western-style furniture masters when the time comes, hehe, anyway, there are many Chinese people doing this kind of carpentry work in Flushing."
Uncle Fang is not an old antique, as soon as Jin Muchen said it, he understood.
Fang Bo has been in the United States for a long time, and his living habits have also been integrated with the Americans a lot, for example, in furniture design, Americans pay great attention to ergonomics, to put it bluntly, how to make people comfortable, how to design.
Comfortable who doesn't like it, those Chinese furniture, although it looks beautiful, what carving, carving is very cumbersome, but that kind of classical furniture, if you sit on it, lie on it, you know, hard, for a long time, it is really easy to sit out of people's problems.
However, if you want to build a whole house of furniture, it doesn't seem to be enough to just lean on a gloomy wood.
Fang Bo shifted his gaze to the body of the other giant gloomy wood, the diameter of this gloomy wood was not small, and the length reached an astonishing seventy meters, it seemed a bit difficult to put it in such a large warehouse.
Fang Bo knew a lot about gloomy wood, but he had never seen such a long gloomy wood.
He came to the front of this gloomy log, stretched out his hand and tapped gently, listening to the sound was right, it was a good grade, and then looking at the heart of the tree, it was not rotten.
Take out the rapeseed oil and rub it, it is also black and shiny, especially in the heart of the tree, and at the end, you can see an amazing blood-red color.
It was a blood-red color that he had never seen before on any other gloomy wood.
"Could it be bloodstone?"
Uncle Fang frowned and said, Jin Muchen also knew that he knew too little about the gloomy wood at this time, and he didn't dare to interject on the side, although he also had some judgment on this gloomy wood, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Uncle Fang.
After all, Uncle Fang also said before that this gloomy wood can only be evolved into a few tree species, and ordinary tree species are simply impossible.
"But it doesn't look like it, does it?"
Uncle Fang stood in front of the tree and said to himself, Jin Muchen really couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Fang, what is bloodstone wood called?"
Fang Bo glanced at him, and then explained to him: "This bloodstone wood can be said to be a kind of gloomy wood, second only to golden silk nanmu and red sandalwood, and when it comes to the roots. In fact, it is not a gloomy wood, it should be classified as a kind of petrified wood, the formation of this bloodstone wood is not like ordinary petrified wood, and gloomy wood is caused by earthquakes, or mudslides, but because of volcanic eruptions, strong magma, the towering ancient trees burned out, and then the charcoal was wrapped in it, but the magma wrapped in the wood was washed into the water, and then began to evolve like gloomy wood, in the process, The carbonized fibroblasts of large trees are infiltrated by cinnabar formed by silica and calcium carbonate, and finally form a bright red bloodstone wood. This wood can be classified as petrified wood, and it can also be classified as gloomy wood, but it is now generally classified as a type of gloomy wood, because it is also dug from the bottom of the river. Because of its bright color, after polishing and processing, it is even more colorful, so it is very popular in the market, and it is the most popular variety in the gloomy wood, second only to golden silk nan and red sandalwood. However, the one in front of me does not look like bloodstone wood, although its color is also very bright, but this head is too big, because the bloodstone wood was wrapped in magma and burned before, so the block is generally relatively small, and it is relatively scattered when it is found. ”
Uncle Fang gave Jin Muchen another science popularization of the origin of the bloodstone wood, Jin Muchen nodded after listening to it, seeing that Uncle Fang had been puzzled, he really couldn't help it, and said his judgment.
"That Uncle Fang, is it possible that this gloomy tree is a North American redwood? After all, I found it in Great Basin National Park, where the most species of trees are this North American redwood, and this tree also has the conditions of those gloomy wooden books? ”
Jin Muchen's inference is very bold, because in the current world, there is really no gloomy wood formed by North American redwoods.
And this North American redwood is also a world-famous precious tree species, and is now called the national tree by the Americans.
Hearing Jin Muchen say this, Fang Bo slapped his thigh suddenly: "Good boy, why didn't I think of it before?" It seems that in terms of innovation and boldness, our old guys are indeed not as young as you! I'm still too limited to my previous experience! ”
At this time, Uncle Fang can be said to have suddenly penetrated, Jin Muchen is very right, such a tall and complete gloomy wood, now it seems that it can only be done with the prototype of the Red Mountain in North America.
You must know that millions of years ago, this North American redwood was also the overlord of the world's plant world, and at that time, towering trees could be said to abound, more than 100 meters high, and even hundreds of meters high.
But the only one that has survived until now is the North American redwood, which is now one of the few tall tree species in the world, and the shortest one is more than 70 meters when it reaches adulthood, and it is everywhere that is more than 100 meters away.
Now in the United States, there's the Great Basin National Park, and Oregon and the Rocky Mountains in Washington State, there's a little bit of it, and there's no other place at all.
This is also thanks to the fact that the protection of natural resources in the United States is so good, which has to be put on hold in China, and this kind of big tree may have become extinct hundreds of years ago.
Americans are famous for their attention and love for this kind of North American redwood, just as Canadians like maples, this kind of North American redwoods is recognized as the national tree of the United States, and the tree species are generally strictly forbidden to be exported, and it can only be given to foreigners as a national gift by the country.
When Nixon visited China in 72, the national gift he gave us was the sapling of four sequoia trees, which have been raised in Ning@Bolinchang......
Therefore, if we talk about the degree of preciousness, the value of the gloomy wood formed by the North American redwoods is not lower than the rarity of the gloomy wood of the golden silk nan.
Although there are still millions of North American redwoods in California, the United States, the key is that there are few gloomy trees formed by this thing, and this is the first one found by Jin Muchen, which is quite remarkable.
Speaking of practical significance, if this redwood gloomy wood is made into furniture, compared to the furniture made by Jin Sinan, it will be inferior to the fragrance of Jin Sinan, and the others are really not bad.
When it comes to archaeological and cultural value, the value of this North American redwood gloomy wood is really not lower than that of the golden silk nan.
Fang Bo looked at this gloomy redwood tree that was more than seventy meters long and could be three or four meters thick with a diameter of three or four meters.
It's a top-notch material, and if you can make a few pieces of furniture out of it, the feeling of accomplishment is overwhelming!
"Looks like I'm going to have to ask my old friend out of the mountains this time......"
Fang Bo narrowed his eyes, licked his lips and said. (To be continued......)
