Chapter 62: The Small-leaved Rosewood Door
paid the shopkeeper, and Lin Cheng asked him to help contact an electric three-wheeler.
The middle-aged man riding the bicycle and Lin Cheng carried the heavy wooden door to the electric tricycle and fixed it.
Then let the electric tricycle send the wooden door to the Yongping wood carving workshop.
When he arrived at the Yongping Wood Carving Workshop, Lin Cheng called Zhang Yongping directly.
Soon, Zhang Yongping took the clerk out of the store.
When the two of them saw the wooden door that Lin Cheng was holding, they both showed sluggish expressions.
"Master Lin, what are you doing?"
"Do you want to change the door of my woodcarving workshop?"
Zhang Yongping walked over to help Lin Cheng hold the wooden door, and took a closer look at the wooden door by the way.
As an old wood carver, he still pays attention to wood.
When you come across wood products, you will basically look at the wood craftsmanship.
"It's black and shiny, and I can't tell what kind of wood it is, but the style is an old object from decades ago."
"Take a closer look at it."
Lin Cheng nodded.
Zhang Yongping, who was a little suspicious, touched the wooden door, and then took a closer look at the hidden wood grain under the oily black appearance.
However, the color of the black oil on the surface hides the texture and essence of the wood.
Rao is Zhang Yongping has a lot of experience.
Still can't tell what kind of wood it is.
"I really can't see it, I have to use sandpaper to knock off the surface to see what kind of wood it is."
"How did you do wood carving for so many years?"
“·······”
Zhang Yongping was speechless for a while.
There is a feeling of being slapped in the face by Lin Cheng.
I don't have bad eyesight, and I can easily recognize most of the wood.
But the dilapidated wooden door in front of me is really dirty.
"Let's go in first, I'll let you open your eyes."
Several men struggled to carry the heavy wooden door inside.
When the wooden door was placed on the workbench, several people were sweating.
It's really dead and sinking.
"What kind of wood is this, it's so heavy, and the density seems to be unusual."
"It's small-leaved red sandalwood, or it's with stars."
“!!!”
Zhang Yongping and everyone was shocked.
Together, with incredible eyes, they looked at the oily black wooden door on the workbench.
Can this thing be small-leaved red sandalwood?
And it's still with stars?!
The small-leaved red sandalwood itself is a precious wood, and there is a precious variety in the small-leaved red sandalwood, that is, the small-leaved red sandalwood with Venus.
When this kind of small-leaved red sandalwood grows, the copper content of the root system is relatively high.
Over time, the roots draw copper into the wood.
Over time, copper is deposited within the diameter of the wood, forming Venus.
After this kind of small-leaved red sandalwood with Venus is cut out, the surface is not only the purple-red texture of the small-leaf red sandalwood, but also glowing with a little golden starlight.
It adds a bit of wealth and nobility, so it is quite popular with the literary and entertainment world.
"Is this really a small leaf red sandalwood with Venus? You can't tell it from the outside. ”
"The oily black color on the outside is estimated to be caused by too serious oxidation, but this component density is really likely to be small-leaved red sandalwood."
"What about sandpaper, hurry up and get sandpaper to polish it."
Zhang Yongping excitedly picked up the sandpaper and prepared to polish it on the wooden door.
However, as soon as the sandpaper was placed on the wooden door, he remembered that he was not the owner of the wooden door.
Whether it is polished or not, it depends on Lin Cheng.
"Do it, be quick."
Lin Cheng urged.
There are people who want to rush to work, and he is naturally happy to stand by and watch.
Zhang Yongping got the order and immediately polished it skillfully.
After a rustling sound, the oil-black surface was polished off, revealing the purple-red wood inside.
Just by taking a look, Zhang Yongping was sure that this was Xiaoye Rosewood.
And on the small leaf red sandalwood, there are indeed dots of golden light.
It's really a red sandalwood with starry leaves.
"Oh my God!"
"Master Lin, how did you see that?"
Zhang Yongping: They were all extremely curious.
looked at Lin Cheng one by one, as if they were elementary school students who were eager for knowledge.
They have been dealing with wood for so many years, and they can't see it, but Lin Cheng can easily see through it.
This is very incomprehensible to them.
"It's very simple, one depends on seeing and the other relies on smelling."
"If you look closely, you can see a little metal reflection from the oil black on the surface, and if you smell closely, you can vaguely smell the unique woody fragrance of small leaf red sandalwood."
Wood is also scented.
And different woods emit different fragrances.
The woody aroma of rosewood is more unique.
Zhang Yongping tried it according to Lin Cheng's statement.
This time I really made a discovery.
It's really just like what Lin Cheng said.
"Cow! My old Zhang is completely convinced. ”
"Hehe, that's all it takes if you're not convinced, this door is an old material for Xiaoye Rosewood, are you interested in accepting it?"
It was impossible for Lin Cheng to bring the wooden door back.
And he was not interested in the wood of rosewood.
Selling it to Zhang Yongping is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
Zhang Yongping hesitated.
"The wood is good wood, but you can also see the level of my master here, and our carving is a waste of good material."
"Master Lin, if you are willing to process these wood materials into carved pieces, you will definitely make more money than selling materials."
In fact, Zhang Yongping still had the intention of joining the wood carving workshop with Lalin Cheng.
If someone else sells this rosewood door, Zhang Yongping will definitely take it without saying a word.
"How about it, you are responsible for processing, I am responsible for selling, and only take a 10% fee."
"I don't have that skill, if you don't want it, I'll send it to the antique store."
Lin Cheng rejected Zhang Yongping's proposal.
The shape of this wooden door is too ordinary, and accessories such as door nails are missing, and even the corners are a little burned.
This has led to a significant decline in the value of antique collections.
Otherwise, Lin Cheng would not have sent it directly to Zhang Yongping and sold it as wood.
"Don't mind, how can this still be an antique, staying with me and reusing it is the best choice."
"Well, I'll have them all polished out and look at all the wood."
"Okay."
Lin Cheng found a chair and sat down.
watched Zhang Yongping lead people to polish.
After some busy work, the oil black on the surface of the wooden door was polished off, revealing the true color of the small leaf red sandalwood.
The whole door is made of small-leaved red sandalwood.
In the past, it was definitely used by large families, but unfortunately it has been damaged a lot, and the collection value is not much.
"It's a shame."
Lin Cheng sighed.
Once many antiques are destroyed, their value will be greatly reduced, or even become worthless.
"Master Lin, how do you want to sell this door?"
