Chapter 394 Woodcarver

As for carving, that's Bailixiu's old profession, because the talent of super precision is Bailixiu's innate talent, not a skill in the super play space, it was there before Bailixiu crossed.

It is precisely because of the talent of super precision that Bailixiu can be compared to a master in both sculpture and painting, especially in sculpture.

Thinking of this, Bai Lixiu naturally stopped delaying, but immediately went to the wood market in the north of the city to buy wood.

Of course, it is impossible for Bailixiu to buy those ordinary woods for carving wood.

Before crossing, Bailixiu was a carver, so she knew some precious woods.

For example, the most valuable is the golden nanmu, which is a kind of nanmu with gold threads and satin-like luster in its material.It is a unique precious wood in China, formerly known as "Zhennan".

In ancient times, golden nanmu refers to purple nanmu, zhennan and Fujian nanmu according to the industry tradition.In ancient times, only the royal family was qualified to use nanmu. Ordinary people who used nanmu would be sentenced to death.In history, golden nanmu was specially used for the construction of royal palaces and a few temples. Of course, only a few temples and royal temples are eligible.

So Bailixiu is now in the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he dare not use this golden nanmu to carve, unless Bailixiu wants to be the emperor himself, of course, even if Bailixiu wants to buy it, he can't buy it unless he comes from Unlawful channels are almost the same, anyway, it is impossible to buy timber in the market.

Then the yellow rosewood is slightly worse than the golden nanmu.

Compared with golden nanmu and huanghuali, golden nanmu is more expensive.

In the world before Bailixiu traveled, the price of golden nanmu could reach 7 to 5 yuan per catty.The price of processed products of golden nanmu usually ranges from millions or even hundreds of millions.According to records, there is a golden nanmu plant in Guizhou that has grown for thousands of years, and the price after processing has reached [-] million yuan.

Yellow rosewood, the scientific name is Dalbergia Dalbergia, also known as Dalbergia.

Huanghuali is the main material used for high-end hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is favored by craftsmen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties because of its yellow color, fine material, soft texture, and fragrant aroma.Huanghuali can also be made into bracelets, with a fragrant smell.Very popular with the public.

Of course, the furniture made of this kind of wood can only be used by the official family or the wealthy businessman's family, and ordinary people don't even think about it.

And the market price of this huanghuali in the world before Bailixiu traveled was 20 to 4000 yuan per catty, that is, more than 56 yuan per gram. It was jokingly called "plant gold", which shows that the economic value is so high.In [-], a Hainan huanghuali log was sold at a sky-high price of [-], which was the highest auction record in recent years.

After huanghuali wood is red sandalwood, also known as "Qinglong wood", "Parina wood" and "Andong wood".Red sandalwood is the most advanced material in mahogany, and is most suitable for making furniture and carving works of art.The utensils made of red sandalwood have a satin-like luster on the surface after waxing and polishing without varnish.

Red sandalwood cannot be used for a hundred years, and a red sandalwood tree can only be used after several hundred years of growth.And ten sandalwood and nine hollows, between the hollow and the skin, that place, that little meat can be used.Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that an inch of sandalwood is an inch of gold.In ancient times, only members of the royal family deserved to have it, so it has the reputation of "the king's wood".

In addition to these three kinds of natural growing wood, there are some unnaturally growing woods, such as ebony, also known as gloomy wood, which has both the elegance of wood and the charm of stone, and is known as "Oriental sacred wood" and "plant mummy".Because of its complex formation, it is also called "carbonized wood".Ebony is hard in nature, mostly brownish black, black red, golden, yellowish brown and so on.The cut surface is smooth, the wood grain is fine, and it can be polished to a mirror-brightness. Some ebony wood has surpassed red sandalwood.It never fades, does not decay, and does not live in insects. It is an ideal material for making artworks and antique furniture.

In ancient times, ebony was also used as a thing to ward off evil spirits, crafts, Buddha statues, and amulet pendants.The ancients said: "Having half a square of ebony at home is better than a box of treasures."

In addition to ebony, there is also agarwood, which is also an unnaturally growing wood, because it produces a strong aroma during the growth process.These parts are named because of their high density and can sink underwater, also known as "Shenshuixiang".

Agarwood will go through a long growth period, at least a few years to ten years, but a piece of high-quality agarwood will take decades or even hundreds of years to form, so the output is very small, and the market is in short supply, so it is very precious and has great value. High collection value.Its wood is hard, and the smoke when burning emits a strong aroma. In many parts of the world, agarwood is also used as a precious spice, burning incense, extracting spices, adding it to wine, or directly carving it into decorations.

And what Bailixiu wanted to buy when he came to the timber market this time was huanghuali wood.

After all, compared with red sandalwood, huanghuali wood is still better.

Although it is the Ming Dynasty now, this huanghuali wood is not very cheap, but fortunately, Bai Lixiu got some money when he came here.

In the end, after Bailixiu bargained and spent almost all of the more than 100 taels of silver that came along with him, he got a cart of huanghuali wood.

Fortunately, the owner of the wood market is also conscientious, and even sent Bailixiu to the door for free. Of course, even if it was not delivered for free, Bailixiu, a thousand catties of huanghuali wood, still has the strength to carry it back.

It's just that revealing his inhuman strength like this will inevitably attract people's suspicion, so it's better to keep a low profile at this time.

And Bailixiu looked at the pile of huanghuali wood in the courtyard, and she had already thought about what she wanted to create.

And the first thing Bailixiu wants to build is a rocking chair. As for why Bailixiu wants to build such a thing, it is naturally for her own use.

As early as in King's Continent, Bai Lixiu discovered that the way to speed up the cultivation of Nine Suns Divine Art is to bask in the sun.

Therefore, the practice of Nine Suns Divine Art is best during the day.

So wouldn't it be nice to build a rocking chair and lie on it and practice while basking in the sun.

And when practicing Jiuyang Divine Art, you don't need to sit cross-legged and put on any posture with five hearts facing the sky. You can practice it no matter you are sitting, lying or even lying on your stomach, as long as your mind and body are in order to install the established exercises. It is enough to run the route, and of course it will run faster when the sun is shining.

So in Bailixiu, of course, Bailixiu can only do its own carpenter carving at night, and then sell it during the day.

Bai Lixiu didn't even touch the carpenter's saws, axes, planes and other carpenter's tools that he bought. After all, he has the indestructible Xingyun carving knife. Wouldn't it make him feel uncomfortable to use these ordinary products?

And the Xingyun carving knife carved the hard huanghuali wood according to Bailixiu's mind like cutting tofu.
