Chapter 1902 The head of wood, the king's wood

So why is Chinese toon wood more expensive?

As a relatively common tree, why is the price of Chinese toon wood so high?

In fact, there are reasons for this. The growth rate of toon trees is relatively slow, so there are relatively few toon trees that can grow into wood.

And the longer the toon tree grows, the darker the color of the wood and has a certain aroma.

In addition, the wood of the toon tree has moderate hardness, which is very suitable for making furniture, and it is relatively corrosion-resistant and not easy to grow insects.

So on the whole, it is still a very high-quality wood.

The quality of Chinese toon tree wood is naturally reflected in the price.

As for the difference between Chinese toon wood and Ailanthus sinensis wood, it is still very big.

Although it is also a toon tree, the Ailanthus sinensis tree is not as popular as the Chinese toon tree.

Ailanthus tree has a peculiar smell, many friends don't like it very much.

In fact, the difference between Ailanthus sinensis and Chinese toon tree is not only the smell, but also the wood.

The color of the wood of the toon tree is reddish, and the older the wood of the toon tree, the redder the color of the wood.

The wood color of the Ailanthus sinensis should be white and yellowish, and the hardness of the Ailanthus sinensis is better.

These are all northern tree species, and friends in the south should know less about them.

However, Chen Wenzhe is now in the south, so he has encountered many southern tree species, such as the lychee wood mentioned earlier.

Of course, there are many precious tree species in the south, such as wenge.

This kind of wood is called "Jiji wood", and it is also written as "Qizi wood".

A type of mahogany with a chicken wing ("V" shape) pattern on the string section of the heartwood of this wood.

Wenge is known for its pronounced, unique grain.

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 kind of wood is produced in the Yangtze River Basin and the vast areas to the south of my country, and it is found in valleys everywhere.

Bark yellowish brown slightly dark gray, heartwood reddish brown.

The quality is heavy and hard, the wood is large and the texture is fine and intricate.

The cut surface is smooth and lustrous, the color is beautiful after painting, it is not easy to deform after drying, it has strong durability and is easy to carve.

In addition, camphor wood carvings also have the effects of repelling insects, sterilizing bacteria, and purifying the air.

Then there is boxwood, it is difficult to grow boxwood in a thousand years, which means that boxwood grows slowly.

这种木材一般要40-50年，才能长到3-5料高，直径不足10厘料。

Because it is difficult to grow and has no material, it is only suitable for carving small figures.

But it has tough texture, delicate texture, moderate hardness, bright colors, some are egg yellow, and can be compared with ivory after fine carving and polishing.

As time goes by, its color changes from light to dark.

In the folk boxwood in our country, it has always been regarded as a top grade that is invulnerable to all poisons, suppresses evil and wards off evil spirits, and is safe and auspicious.

Like such a good wood, there is Torreya, also known as Torreya, which is a famous tree that has been used for thousands of years, and belongs to the family Taxaceae.

This kind of gathering property is located in Japan, South Korea and my country's Yunchuan Hengduan Mountains, which must be at the top of a mountain with an altitude of 3000-4000 meters.

Similarly, the material of this kind of wood is solid and firm, the texture is fine and straight, the color is golden, and the smell is fragrant.

What I just mentioned are some relatively common wood, because the quantity is relatively large.

A relatively small amount of wood is naturally more precious, such as rosewood.

Its wood grain is like a tiger skin pattern, and it is also similar to raccoon spots, also known as "flower raccoon", full of domineering.

The old man's pattern is curved, while the young's pattern is straight.

The wood knot patterns are round like money, bright in color and clear in texture, and can be used as furniture and various utensils for the study.

Then there is the golden camphor, which is one of the three major national treasures in Myanmar. The golden camphor, jade and teak in Myanmar are known as the three national treasures.

It takes at least 50 years for Myanmar golden camphor to grow into a useful product. It grows slowly, has high hardness, and is not easy to wear.

At the same time, it also contains extremely heavy oil and iron.

This oily and iron quality keeps it unchanged, acid and alkali resistant, moisture and corrosion resistant.

The color after polishing and planing is oxidized into golden yellow through photosynthesis.

Then there is the yew, which is a rare tree species and should be well known by everyone.

Also known as yew and yew, it is an ancient tree species left over from the Quaternary ice age.

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 anticancer active substance in the field of natural medicine today.

The yew generally takes 100 to 250 years to grow into a tree. It is a rare and endangered plant. my country has listed it as a first-class rare and endangered protected plant.

Next is sandalwood, which 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-inflammation.

Sandalwood also has antispasmodic and tonic properties for the body.

The texture of red sandalwood is hard, the color varies from deep black to red, and the texture is fine.

Rosewood wood is dense and heavy.

The growth rate is slow, with a cycle of 5 years, and it takes more than 800 years to become useful. Its hardness is the first among woods, and it is called "the king's wood".

Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, red sandalwood has been a good furniture material for car shafts and courts.

According to historical records, red sandalwood was first imported from Annan (now South Vietnam). In the late Ming Dynasty, in order to show the dignity of the court, the Ming Dynasty imported a large amount of red sandalwood from Nanyang and hid it in the palace.

Since the Qing Dynasty, red sandalwood was used to make all kinds of furniture.

In the Ming Dynasty, red sandalwood furniture was rarely handed down from generation to generation. In the Qing Dynasty, red sandalwood gradually became the new favorite of the court, and red sandalwood furniture was almost monopolized by the court.

As for the wood that can be compared with red sandalwood, it seems that there is only huanghuali in China.

Huanghua pear is a national first-class rare plant, also known as Dalbergia japonica, which is only produced on the hillsides below 350 meters above sea level in Hainan Island, China.

According to historical records, Nanhai Huali was already a specialty of the Gongyu Palace in Hainan during the Tang Dynasty.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, furniture made of rosewood not only became exclusive tributes to the royal family, but also became a symbol of the feudal ruling hierarchy.

The last tree species that is more famous in the south should be camphor wood.

Compared with sandalwood and rosewood, this kind of wood is naturally not very expensive, but its effect is greater.

Camphor tree, also known as camphor, camphor tree and so on.

It is the most important tree species for extracting camphor, camphor oil (camphor tincture), and linalool.

Camphor wood is warm in nature and pungent in taste;
Can open the orifice and ward off dirty, warm middle-JIAO to relieve pain, promote dampness and kill parasites.

It is the most important raw material tree species for refining chemical raw materials camphor, camphor oil and linalool.

Camphor is a granular crystal made from the roots, trunk, branches and leaves of camphor tree through distillation.

Camphor oil is composed of camphor and other terpenoids such as eucalyptol, linalool, pine oil, safrole and by-products white camphor oil, red camphor oil, blue camphor oil.

The trunk and roots of the mature camphor tree contain up to 20-25% camphor and camphor oil.

my country is currently the world's largest producer of camphor and exporter of camphor.
