Chapter 1901: The First Wood, the Emperor's Wood
So, why is Chinese toon wood more expensive?
As a relatively common tree, why is the price of Chinese toon tree so high?
In fact, there are reasons for this. The growth rate of Chinese toon trees is relatively slow, so few Chinese toon trees can grow into wood.
And the longer the Chinese toon tree grows, the darker the color of the wood and has a certain aroma.
In addition, the wood of Chinese toon tree is moderately hard, which is very suitable for making furniture. It is corrosion-resistant and not prone to insects.
So overall, it is still very high-quality wood.
The wood of Chinese toon trees is so excellent, and the price will naturally be reflected.
As for the difference between Chinese toon wood and stinky toon wood, there is still a big difference.
Although they are both stinky trees, stinky toon trees are not as popular as the Chinese toon trees.
The stinky toon tree has a strange smell, which many friends don’t like.
In fact, the difference between stinky toon tree and Chinese toon tree is not only different in terms of smell, but also in terms of wood.
The wood of the toon tree is redder, and the older the Chinese toon tree, the redder the wood.
The wood color of the stinky toon tree should be whiter and yellow, and the hardness of the stinky toon tree should be better.
These are all northern tree species, and friends in the south should know less.
However, Chen Wenzhe is in the south now, so he has encountered many southern tree species, such as the lychee tree mentioned earlier.
Of course, there are many precious species of tree in the south, such as wenge.
This kind of wood is called "田子" and is also written as "田子".
On the chord section of the heartwood of this wood, there are chicken wings ("v"-shaped) patterns.
Wingwood is known for its remarkable, unique texture.
Then there is camphor wood, also known as camphor wood, the whole plant has a fragrance.
The Chinese holy root mentioned earlier is made of camphor wood.
This wood is produced in the Yangtze River Basin and vast areas south of my country, and is found in valleys everywhere.
The bark is yellowish-brown and the heartwood is reddish-brown.
The texture is heavy and hard, and the wood is large and the texture is thin and intricate.
The cut surface is smooth and lustrous, the color is beautiful after paint, it is not easy to deform after drying, it is strong durable, and is easy to carve.
In addition, camphor wood carvings also have the effects of deworming and sterilizing and purifying the air.
Then there is boxwood. Boxwood is difficult to grow for thousands of years. This means that boxwood grows slowly.
This kind of wood usually takes 40-0 years to grow to 3-high material and has a diameter of less than 10 centimeters.
Because it is difficult to grow and has no large material, it is only suitable for carving small figures.
However, it has tough texture, delicate texture, moderate hardness, and bright colors. Some are egg-yellow, which can be compared with ivory after being carefully carved and polished.
As time goes by, its color goes from light to dark.
In our folk boxwood, it has always been regarded as the best quality of all poisons, to cure evil and ward off evil and to protect us from peace and good fortune.
Such good wood, also known as Torreya, is a tree called Torreya, which has been established for thousands of years and is the family of Taxaceae.
This kind of property gathering in Japan, South Korea and the Hengduan Mountains of Yunchuan, my country, must be at an altitude of 3,000-4,000 meters.
Similarly, this wood has a solid and firm texture, fine and straight texture, golden color and fragrant smell.
What I just mentioned are some relatively ordinary wood because the quantity is relatively large.
Wood with relatively small quantities is naturally more precious, such as rosewood.
The wood grain is like tiger skin pattern, and also like raccoon spots, also known as "Huaqi", which is very domineering.
The old man has a straight fist pattern.
The wood knots are round and halos like money, with bright colors and clear textures, and can be used as furniture and study tools.
Next is Golden Camphor, which is one of the three major national treasures in Myanmar. Golden Camphor, jade and teak are known as the three major national treasures.
From the growth to the ingredient of Burmese gold camphor, after at least 0 years, grows slowly, has a high hardness and is not easy to wear.
At the same time, it also contains extremely heavy oil and iron.
This oil and iron keep it unchanged, anti-acid and alkaline, moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant.
The color after polishing is oxidized into a golden color after photosynthesis.
Then there is yew, this kind of tree species is expensive and should be known to everyone.
Also known as yew and cypress pine, it is an ancient tree species that was relic of the Quaternary Ice Age.
The paclitaxel contained in yew has a unique anti-cancer mechanism and high anti-cancer activity.
It can prevent the reproduction of cancer cells and inhibit the migration of tumor cells.
Therefore, it is recognized as the most important anti-cancer active substance in the drug field today.
Yew usually grows for 100∽0 years as a tree. It is an endangered precious plant. my country has listed it as a first-class rare and endangered protected plant.
Next is the sandalwood we are more familiar with. The sandalwood is delicate. Many ancient temples or furniture are made of sandalwood.
Sandalwood not only has the function of preventing ants, but also has the effect of clearing blood and anti-inflammatory.
Sandalwood also has anti-spasmodic and replenishing functions on the body.
The texture of rosewood is hard, with a color ranging from dark black to red, with a variety of variations and a fine texture.
Rosewood is dense and has heavy wood.
The growth rate is slow, and it takes more than 800 years to form a timber. Its hardness is the first of wood, and it is called "the wood of the emperor".
Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, red sandalwood has been a good furniture material for the shafts and palaces.
According to historical records, red sandalwood was first imported from Annan (now Nanyue). In the late Ming Dynasty, in order to show the dignity of the palace, the Ming Dynasty imported a large amount of red sandalwood from Nanyang and hid it into the palace.
Starting from the Qing Dynasty, various types of furniture were made from rosewood.
The Ming Dynasty's red sandalwood furniture was rarely passed down. In the Qing Dynasty, red sandalwood gradually became the new favorite of the palace, and red sandalwood furniture was almost monopolized by the palace.
As for wood that can be compared with rosewood, it seems that there is only huanghuali in China.
Huanghuali is a national first-class rare plant, also known as Huanghuali, and is only produced on hillsides below 30 meters above sea level in Hainan Island, China.
According to historical records, the South China Sea rosewood was already a specialty of the Hainan Gongyu Palace during the Tang Dynasty.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, furniture made of rosewood not only became a royal exclusive tribute, but also a symbol of the feudal ruling hierarchy.
The last more famous tree species in the south should be camphor trees.
Compared with sandalwood, rosewood is naturally not very expensive, but it has a greater effect.
Camphor tree, a plant of the genus of the Camphor Family, also known as camphor tree, camphor tree, etc.
It is the most important tree species for refining camphor, camphor oil (camphor tincture), linalool.
Camphor wood is warm in nature and spicy in taste;
It can clear the orifices and remove filth, warm the middle and relieve pain, and eliminate dampness and kill insects.
It is the most important raw material tree species for refining chemical raw materials camphor, camphor oil and linaol.
Camphor is a granular crystal made of distilled roots, stems, branches and leaves of camphor trees.
Camphor oil is composed of camphor and other terpenes such as eucalyptus olein, linalool, pine oil, safrole, and by-products white camphor oil, red camphor oil, blue camphor oil, and a variety of terpenes.
The trunks and roots of the timbered camphor tree contain up to 0-% camphor and camphor oil.
my country is currently the world's largest camphor wood producer and camphor exporter.
