Identification of the golden nanmu

The golden nanmu is a rare wood species, and it is the most popular collection of perennial. Because this wood species is especially precious, there are often some unscrupulous merchants in the market who have similar characteristics of hardwood pretending to be golden nanmu. Therefore, Xiaobian consulted several key points of the mahogany expert Xiaodi to identify Jin Sinan:

1. The biggest characteristic of the golden nanmu is the strong corrosion resistance. It can be rotted in the ground for thousands of years, so most of the emperor's coffins are made of golden nanmu.

2. The golden nanmu has the fragrance of nanmu, which can repel mosquitoes and worms. Modern experiments have also proved that Phoebe chinensis can resist the erosion of wood rot fungi and termites. In addition, the anti-sea life of the sapwood is also highly corrosive, so the royal bookcases of the past must be gold nanmu furniture.

3. The texture of golden nanmu is fine and beautiful, exquisite and unusual, the texture is warm and soft, the new cut surface is yellowish brown with green color and strong luster. The most obvious feature is that it emits golden light under the light, but it is quiet and innocent, quiet and low-key.

4. The golden wood is mild, the winter is not cold, the summer is not hot, and the body is not hurt, while other hardwood furniture does not have this excellent feature, so the palace is often used to make tables, arhat beds, cabinets and bookshelves. It can also be used to decorate cabinet doors or make stationery.

5. Because the texture of the golden nanmu is not easily deformed, the phenomenon of warping is rare, the wood has small expansion and contraction and moderate hardness, and the nail force is quite good.

6. The utensils made of gold nanmu are beautifully shaped and will not have a hard feeling. Jinsi Nanmu furniture pays attention to wood color, that is, it does not paint or wax. Because of the lacquering and waxing, the color of the golden nanmu will be black and lose its original color.

7. The Ming and Qing furniture made of golden silk wood is plain, soft and tough, and the temperament is simple and elegant.
