Five tips for self-checking mahogany furniture

 

The so-called " mahogany " is not a furniture of a specific tree species from the beginning, but a collective name for rare hardwood high-quality furniture since Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a kind of furniture material. Produced in tropical areas, leguminous, Pterocarpus (pterocarpus) wood. It is mostly produced in Southeast Asia, and is introduced and cultivated in Guangdong and Yunnan. The difference between wood heart and sapwood is obvious, the sapwood is narrow and off-white; the heartwood is yellowish red to red, and it becomes purple-red when exposed to air for a long time. The wood pattern is beautiful, the material is hard and durable, and it is used for valuable furniture and arts and crafts. Hainan Tan and Gemu also belong to this category. Redwood is a genus of leguminous sandalwood in tropical regions, mainly produced in India. It is also produced in Guangdong, Yunnan and Nanyang Islands in China. It is a common precious hardwood.

Method 1: Move the focus of inspection: furniture weight

The types of raw materials of mahogany furniture and the proportion of materials used are different, and the weight of furniture is also different. If you want to test whether the selected mahogany furniture is enough, you can try to move the furniture. Usually, if a man around 40 years old can lift a circle chair with a little effort, it proves that the weight of the chair is normal; if it is moved easily, it proves that the weight is not enough.

Method Two: Plan the key points of testing: the quality of wood itself

Even the same kind of wood has good and bad, so the purpose of checking the quality and thickness of the wood is to judge the quality of the mahogany furniture. When testing, you can use your nails to scratch the direction perpendicular to the wood texture, and observe and experience the size of the wood tube hole diameter. Usually the wood is more delicate and high-grade, the diameter of the tube hole is smaller, and the degree of hand blocking of the wood is also small; while the wood itself is rough, the diameter of the tube hole is larger, the degree of hand blocking of the wood is larger.

Method 3: Touch the key points of detection: the water content is high or low

The moisture content of wood directly affects the quality of furniture. Both southern and northern manufacturers may crack mahogany furniture due to misuse of non-standard drying wood with high moisture content. You can use your fingers or palm to gently touch the heart panel and the jointing part of the furniture panel. If it is flat and smooth, it proves that the wood moisture content of the furniture has reached the standard of 11.4% in the north; if there is slight cracking or bursting, it proves that the production was The internal moisture content of the wood of the furniture is high, but the quality is not enough.

Method 4: Focus on testing: ratio of materials used

There are two types of mahogany furniture: "full mahogany" and "partial mahogany". The price of the former is about 1.5 times higher than the latter. Usually, you can turn small furniture such as tables and chairs upside down and observe whether the wood used in the interior and hidden parts is exactly the same as the main structure or with sapwood. If they are the same, that is, "all mahogany furniture" that uses all heartwood, the heartwood is orange-red, purple-brown, and black; if it has sapwood, that is, "partial mahogany furniture", the sapwood is yellow and taupe.

Method 5: Lifting and shaking detection focus: the structure is tight

Good mahogany furniture is known for its solid tenon-and-mortise structure, which makes the furniture durable without nails. You can raise the leg of the side of the mahogany seat, and then gently let it fall to the ground. If the sound of the ground is simply strong, it proves that the structure is moderately tight. In addition, for table and chair mahogany furniture, you can also use the shaking method to detect the firmness of the tenon structure.
