Briefly talk about how to identify true and false rosewood.

Generally speaking, the color of red rosewood is reddish purple, which is dark and easy to darken. The longer you put it, the deeper it will be, even close to black, that is, there is a deep pigment. This is also one of the common characteristics of mahogany furniture. The newly-made mahogany furniture is often uneven in color and looks like a blank semi-finished product, so it is difficult to get the favor of consumers.

The wood and color of red rosewood are similar to those of lobular rosewood, the annual rings are straight and filiform, the bristles are larger than those of rosewood, and the color is similar to bordeaux. Its wood is hard and delicate, can sink in water, and generally needs to grow for more than 500 years before it can be used. The most obvious difference between it and other wood is that its wood grain is often sandwiched with dark brown or black stripes in crimson, giving people an antique feeling.

And the real big rosewood furniture is actually unpainted.

Because the rosewood itself is rich in oil, it can give off natural luster and feel very warm after grinding, waxing and polishing. However, there are also merchants who use slightly inferior wood such as Dalbergia microphylla to make big rosewood, and the oil content cannot be compared with it. Usually, some businesses will cover up their camouflage through coloring, painting and other processes.

Dahong mahogany furniture basically has no painting process. If it is painted, consumers are advised not to buy it. To identify whether the furniture with red rosewood has been painted, we can carefully observe the pores on the surface of wood grain. If not, it is more likely to be painted.
