Physical properties:

Hedgehog rosewood belongs to the red sandalwood and rosewood in the national standard of redwood. Hedgehog rosewood is a loose hole material, and the semi-annular hole material tends to be obvious. The growth wheel is quite obvious. The heartwood is orange-red, brick red or purple-red, often with dark stripes, the scratches are visible to the visible, the aroma is not or very weak, the structure is fine, and the texture is staggered. Mainly produced in tropical Africa, other origins: Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Senegal and other West African countries have produced.

Speaking of African rosewood, I have to say the hedgehog red sandalwood first. Hedgehog rosewood belongs to the rosewood class. It is also called African rosewood because it is produced in Africa.

Note: Hedgehog rosewood is called African pear or African huanghuali here. It belongs to the national standard of Chinese redwood and is redwood.

However, "African rosewood", "African rosewood", and "non-flower" are all non-standard names that are popular for businesses for a variety of purposes. These irregular names cannot be used to refer specifically to the hedgehog red sandalwood, which are generalized category concepts.

Secondly, we have to talk about the relationship between African huanghuali and the hedgehog rosewood. So the so-called "African huanghuali" is a trick that is used naked to pretend to be a redwood and swindle consumers. This kind of African huanghuali used to impersonate mahogany actually It is an ordinary African hardwood.

Its scientific name is: Tie's ancient yellow wood, Guibourtia tessmanii J. Leonard

Product Name: Bu Binjia Bubinga

Origin: Essingang (Cameroon); Kevazingo (Gabon); Waka (Zaire); Akume (United States); 0veng (Equatorial Guinea)

Commonly known as: also known as African rosewood, grass and pear (this common name makes everyone dizzy). This kind of Tetsuya yellow wood can also be called African pear, but it is not redwood.

Again, the focus is coming, pay attention to the Asian / grass pear

"African rosewood" literally refers to rosewood produced in Africa, but many unscrupulous traders are used to African wood that is not part of rosewood, such as A. rosewood, African rosewood, etc. For "African rosewood" or "African rosewood", these African Asian pears and grass pears are in the wood nature of rosewood, which does not meet the standard of national standard redwood, so it is not included in the redwood category.

There are two kinds of common pears in the market. African red sandalwood (commonly known as Indian red pear) and Angora red sandalwood (commonly known as Khmer wood) are also known as African Asian pears.

Empathy is a chestnut saying that it is as if African indigenous people came to buy you Chinese tofu, but you also referred to stinky tofu and sauce tofu as Chinese tofu to African indigenous. This is easy to understand, in exchange for the African rosewood you bought, if you encounter unscrupulous traders, you may end up with the "stinky tofu" of grass pear or pear.

The high volume of “African rosewood” furniture flooding the market has had a negative impact on real rosewood furniture, leading many people to misunderstand the quality of rosewood furniture. In the eyes of laymen, “African rosewood” furniture is no different from real rosewood furniture, or “African rosewood” furniture is rosewood furniture, which invisibly locates rosewood furniture on the low-end level.

Finally, a brief summary of African rosewood

The difference between "African rosewood" and Hedgehog rosewood is that the Hedgehog rosewood is a real rosewood, which belongs to the rosewood, but the "African rosewood" is not necessarily the rosewood in the rosewood. Most of the "African rosewood" is a pear, grass pear They are not part of the mahogany. This is the essential difference between "African rosewood" and Hedgehog rosewood. Therefore, the "African rosewood" mentioned by the merchant may be a redwood hedgehog rosewood, or may be a non-redwood wood such as African pear, grass pear and pear.

Therefore, everyone should keep in mind that the merchants say that they are African pears. Don’t be stupid enough to buy them. You must ask what kind of wood and what kind of species.
