What are the advantages and disadvantages, price and maintenance skills of ebony furniture?

Ebony: dark wood, which Sichuanese call ebony. It is a natural variation of celestial bodies in ancient Sichuan from 2000 to 10000 years ago. All plants and creatures on the ground were buried in low-lying places such as ancient river beds by earthquakes, floods and mudslides. Some trees buried in the soil are formed by carbonization for thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the conditions of hypoxia and high pressure and under the action of microorganisms such as bacteria, so they are also called "carbonized wood".

Advantages of ebony furniture:

1, hard. Because ebony has been in a special physical environment for a long time, the ebony material itself is hard.

2. Various colors. Although the color of ebony is mostly black, there are also ebony materials such as outer black, inner red, inner yellow, inner green, dark brown, black red, gold and yellow brown. And there are ebony materials with gradient colors.

3, the section is smooth. Ebony material has smooth section and fine grain, which can be properly polished to achieve mirror brightness.

4, colorfast, rot-resistant, insect-free, is an ideal material for making works of art and antique furniture.

Disadvantages of ebony furniture:

1, ebony furniture is hard in nature, so sparks often appear when cutting with a chainsaw, which is difficult to polish.

2, easy to break.

3. Ebony wood has many holes, so the hollowed-out area is relatively large, the crack is long and the output is extremely low.

The price of ebony furniture

Ebony has many minerals that penetrate and collect the aura of heaven and earth, so it is usually expensive in the market. At present, the natural ebony with large volume and different forms on the market is worth millions of yuan. It is understood that the current market price of dark wood is extremely high. A piece of dark wood weighing about 5 tons was sold at a high price of 1 10,000 yuan in other provinces' markets.

Maintenance method of ebony furniture

1, keeping wet is the first priority.

Because of the material, too much sunlight or humidity will damage the material of ebony furniture, leading to wood cracking or brittleness. Therefore, it is necessary to keep ebony furniture dry without being exposed to too much sunlight. In southern China, the humid climate can make ebony furniture intact. Like the case above, ebony is placed in the open air, and the damage to ebony is irreparable.

2. Wet cloth is a natural enemy

Many people think that since it is wooden furniture, it can of course be wiped with a wet cloth. But ebony is a special case. Because the moisture in wet cloth will form particles after mixing with lime sand, once it rubs the furniture surface, it is easy to cause some damage to it, but people usually ignore this point. So how to clean the surface of ebony furniture if there is dust? Furniture lovers suggest that you'd better brush off the dust gently with a thin and soft brush first, and then wipe it slowly with a dry cloth made of cotton and linen. If you accidentally get a stain, you can wipe it with a small amount of water-soluble or oily cleaner.

3, regular waxing maintenance

Waxing should be carried out after the dust is completely removed, otherwise wax spots will form, or wear and scrape will occur. The choice of wax is also very important. General spray wax, water wax and bright wax are all ok, but don't use them.

Use car wax. When waxing, we should master the principle of from shallow to deep, from point to surface, and wax gradually and evenly. Generally speaking, waxing once every two weeks is enough, but if it is really scratched, bruised or scraped, experts should be asked to repair it in time.
