What's the difference between ebony, rosewood and rosewood?

According to the definition of national standards, its scope is five genera and eight categories. Five genera: Pterocarya stenoptera, Dalbergia odorifera, Persimmon, Asparagus, Aralia elata. Eight categories: rosewood, rosewood, rosewood, rosewood, ebony, striped ebony and wingwood. First class: Huang Huali and Rosewood. \x0d\ Category II: black rosewood, ebony (also known as ebony) and African rosewood. \x0d\ Third class: red rosewood. \x0d\ Category IV: Other rosewood. \x0d\ Category V: rosewood, Elaeagnus mollis, Dalbergia odorifera of Leguminosae, Elaeagnus angustifolia of South America and Africa, etc. \x0d\ Grade 6: rosewood from South America and Africa. \x0d\ There are many kinds of rosewood, belonging to Dalbergia of Papilionaceae in Leguminosae. It is named after the pungent sour taste of its wood after cutting. Suanzhi is a tropical evergreen tree, mainly produced in India, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries, and originated in Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and other places in China. In the furniture made of rosewood, there are mainly two kinds of wood, red rosewood and black rosewood. Generally, there are "grease" with high quality, fine structure, hard weight and sinking into water. It is particularly obvious that deep red often has dark brown or black stripes, which are clear and changeable. Blackcurrant branches are rare and expensive. Sour branch furniture is polished, smooth and lubricated, and has a lasting luster, giving people a mellow and subtle aesthetic feeling. \x0d\ Among Dalbergia plants, except Dalbergia odorifera in Hainan Island, which is called "fragrant branches" (commonly known as Huang Huali), the others belong to Pterocarya. There are three kinds of rosewood: black rosewood, red rosewood and white rosewood. They * * * have the same feature that they give off a taste of edible vinegar during processing, so they are named sour branches. Some trees have a strong smell, while others are weak. The name of sour branch is widely used in Guangdong, and this kind of wood is called "redwood" in the north of the Yangtze River. Strictly speaking, the name mahogany is neither scientific nor academic. It is a general term formed when some people are unclear about all kinds of wood. Of the three \x0d\ of rosewood, ebony is the best. Its color ranges from purplish red to purplish brown or purplish black, the wood is hard and the polishing effect is good. Some are very close to rosewood and are often mistaken for rosewood, but most of them are rough in texture. \x0d\ The texture of red rosewood is more obvious than that of black rosewood, with flat texture and mostly purple color. The color of white rosewood is much lighter than that of red rosewood, and the color is close to that of Cao Huali. Sometimes it is easily confused with Cao Huali. The rosewood is mainly produced in Southeast Asian countries, with dense structure, warm and delicate texture. Can be immersed in water, because it has a slightly acidic aroma after being cut open. The distinction between color and quality of rosewood is complicated, including black acid branches and red acid branches, white acid branches and flower acid branches, among which black acid branches are the most precious and rare, and real black acid branches are rare. Old rosewood furniture with good quality and deep color is very similar to rosewood after oxidation and patina, while old rosewood furniture with a history of more than two or three hundred years is close to rosewood. The new rosewood with lighter color looks more like Huang Huali, but the sensory difference is just "like rosewood without gold thread, like Huang Huali without grimace". The price is moderate, the quality is excellent, and it has the advantages of other wood, which is really rare. \x0d\ scientific name of rosewood: Dalbergia odorifera, also known as Hainan rosewood and Hainan rosewood. The Latin name of this tree species is DalbergiaodorifereT.chen, and the trade name is scentedrosewood. Origin: Low-altitude plain and hilly areas in Jianfengling, Diaoluo Mountain, Hainan Island, China, mostly growing in the sunny place at 100 meters above sea level. \x0d\ Huang Huali is the main material of antique hardwood furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with yellow color, fine material, soft texture and fragrant smell, which is favored by craftsmen in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In particular, the aesthetic taste of literati in the prosperous Ming and Qing Dynasties made Huang Huali furniture stand out. From the perspective of artistic aesthetics and ergonomics, it is impeccable and can be called a treasure in the world furniture art. Huang Huali wood is quiet and quiet, with flowing texture, hidden or present, furuncle scars as round as money, and patterns as "ghost face", which is particularly precious. \x0d\ Dalbergia odorifera is a valuable wood, and rosewood is a long green tree, which is produced in India and Southeast Asia. Red sandalwood is deeply cherished by people, especially Chinese people, because of its forged jade texture, delicate and dense irregular crab claw texture and heavy rhinoceros horn color. Among them, Venus, chicken blood and ox hair rosewood are top grades. The shape of logs is extremely irregular and there are many holes, so it is difficult for products to have large pieces. The finished product will not lose paint, deform and rot easily. After a long period of natural oxidation, it will become dignified black and can be passed down from generation to generation. Since the Ming dynasty, it has been regarded as a fine material by the royal family. After the Qing Dynasty, the court listed rosewood as the first choice of palace furniture products, intending to monopolize it. \x0d\ rosewood and Huang Huali are hard and dense. After long-term use, the surface of the appliance will naturally produce a moisturizing outer layer that looks like keratin, that is, "color paste". It is recognized as the noblest furniture and wood carving in the world. Red sandalwood and yellow gorgeous grow slowly, although they are still rough for a hundred years. Due to the predatory felling of rulers in Ming and Qing Dynasties, raw materials became more and more scarce in the late Qing Dynasty, and now they are even rarer. \x0d\ Fragrant rosewood: It belongs to Dalbergia odorifera, also known as Dalbergia hainanensis, Dalbergia odorifera, commonly known as huanghuali, which is a rare tree species unique to Hainan in China and has basically disappeared. Its wood is hard, the color is unknown, the visual sense is excellent, the texture is hidden or present, vivid and changeable, and it has the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood fat. The color of huanghuali is mainly yellow, and it is woven into beautiful natural patterns with dark wood grains, such as faces and fox spots, which reflect golden light and emit fragrance under bright light. Huanghua pear has a shiny surface and a spicy aroma; Fine and uniform structure, high corrosion resistance; So it is very precious. Red sandalwood: Its wood grain is "ghost face" or "beaver spot", also known as "beaver" and alias: rosewood. Red sandalwood is distributed in tropical areas of India and Southeast Asia. Its characteristic sapwood is yellow-white to grayish brown; The core material is light tan, orange brown, reddish brown to purple brown; The material is relatively uniform in color, dark in luster, with rain grain texture, soft in color and light in weight, and can float in water. Rosewood is the main material of mahogany furniture at present because of its moderate price. Rosewood: also known as "Qinglongmu". Rosewood, a rare treasure, is known as the "king of wood" by the world. Rosewood grows in tropical jungles. Because of its unsurpassed material and slow growth, it is a kind of hardwood that grows one inch in a hundred years and can't be finished in a hundred years. In addition, the output of rosewood is extremely low, so it is very precious. Since ancient times, it has been called "inch sandalwood inch gold". Acid rosewood: commonly known as "old redwood", distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Because it emits a pungent smell with sour taste during processing, it is named Suanzhi. There are two kinds of rosewood: black rosewood and red rosewood. Black rosewood: heartwood is purple-black, deep purple and reddish brown with black stripes. It is rare and expensive. Once polished and smooth, it gives people a mellow and subtle aesthetic feeling, and its value is second only to rosewood. Red rosewood: the growth rings are obvious, and the heartwood is orange-brown, purple-red-brown and deep purple. Wood is hard and heavy, generally submerged in water, with purple-black stripes, landscape patterns and grease. It is a good material for making furniture and handicrafts.

Huang Huali: Hongjunzi, the supply of raw materials has been cut off. Among all mahogany furniture, Huanghua pear is the most delicate wood species, with high oil content, good gloss and smooth texture, and is called a gentleman in wood. At present, the best Huang Huali on the market comes from Hainan, and the original Huang Huali wood has been cut down. The new species of trees are only finger-thick, which is prohibited by the state, and the supply of Huang Huali has been cut off. Huang Huali furniture in Hainan can only be redesigned by buying old furniture, and Huang Huali in Vietnam and other places has also become a hot commodity in the market.

Each rosewood is different in color, texture and texture. The growth cycle of acid tree is about 300 years, and the market price is 40 thousand yuan to 80 thousand yuan per ton. Chicken wing wood: when those red berries come in spring, they are named after the texture. Chick-winged wood is also called red bean wood. When those red berries come in spring, the poems that glow on your southern branches are a metaphor for it. Among many wood species named by color, only Pterocarya cristata is named after internal texture. The longitudinal section of pteridoptera is purple-brown striped. At present, the best wingwood in the world is produced in Myanmar, and the wingwood land in Africa is not as good as that in Myanmar. The growth cycle is generally around 100 years, and the stock of African wingwood is relatively large and the price is not high. At present, the price per cubic meter is between 5800 yuan and 10000 yuan. Burmese rosewood: There are also many stocks. The price of materials with a diameter of about 35cm and a length of about 4m is about 1.4 million yuan, with little fluctuation.
