What's the difference between rosewood and wingwood?

Let's talk about the identification methods of rosewood and chicken wing wood respectively. Redwood:

At first glance, there are banded stripes: rosewood is thicker, straighter and more textured, and heartwood is red, tan and reddish brown. Seen from the longitudinal section, the banded stripes are obvious;

Second, look at the interlaced texture: the texture of huali is cyan, gray and brownish red, and several colors are interlaced;

Third, look at polarization: you can see refracted light from the cross section of Huali. Only one angle can see the brightest and most obvious refracted light, and other angles are not obvious. This is polarization;

Fourth, look at fluorescence: there is a faint fluorescence in pears. If you put a small pear in water, you will find a green substance floating in the water, which can emit a kind of fluorescence.

Fifth, look at the cow hair pattern: the origin of pears is different, and the wood is also very different. Some are thin and some are loose, but from the tangential section, you can clearly see the wood grain similar to cow hair.

Six flavors of sandalwood: close to huali and smell it with your nose. You can smell that huali also has the smell of sandalwood, which is very fragrant, but it is lighter than Dalbergia odorifera.

Identification method of winged wood

Chicken wing wood can be used to make heavy furniture, mostly used to make sofas and Ming furniture. Chicken wing wood is brittle, and there will be no exquisite carver on the finished product. Secondly, in terms of price, the price difference between African wingwood logs and Myanmar wingwood logs is more than double. In terms of timber output, the timber output of Pterocarpus formosana in Myanmar is about 25%-30% less than that of Pterocarpus formosana in Africa. After the finished product is made, the price of Burmese chicken wing wood will be more expensive. The above are the identification methods of red sandalwood and chicken wing wood.
