â– The identification of mahogany furniture mainly depends on the wooden structure and weight

1. See if the wooden structure has the characteristics of mahogany. That is, the wood itself has a variety of natural colors such as purple, yellow red, reddish or deep red; whether the wood grain is simple and beautiful, elegant and fresh, and the wood grain is still fresh after painting. After the fake mahogany products are painted, the general color is thick, and there are often white pans, and no texture can be found.

2, look at the weight. The real mahogany furniture is sturdy and strong, and the texture is particularly tight, which is heavier than the average beech. The fake mahogany furniture of the same shape and size is lighter than the real one.

3, look at the pure mahogany home or mahogany veneer furniture. Some products are said to be made of mahogany, but if you check them carefully, you can find that the mahogany is sliced ​​and attached to the surface of other woods. It is not really pure mahogany furniture.

â–  Authentic mahogany furniture, why not use nails?

First, the 榫卯 structure is more durable than the furniture connected with iron nails. First, the 榫卯 structure is a combination of 榫 and 卯, which is an ingenious combination of multiple and small, high and low, long and short between pieces of wood, which can effectively limit the twisting of wood pieces in all directions. The nail connection can't be done. Second, metals are prone to rust or oxidation, while real mahogany furniture can be used for hundreds or thousands of years. If the nails are combined, it is likely that the wood is intact, but the furniture is scattered due to corrosion, fatigue and aging of the connected metal.

Second, the structure of the furniture is easy to transport. The mahogany furniture is disassembled and transported, and it is very convenient to be assembled and installed at the destination. If the furniture is connected with iron nails, although it can be made into a partial split type, furniture such as a chair with more small pieces of wood can not be done.

Third, the structure of the furniture is easy to maintain. No matter what kind of furniture, there will be problems after using it for a long time, and it needs maintenance and maintenance. Furniture connected with nails is not as easy to disassemble and replace as structural furniture.

Fourth, because the mahogany wood is hard, and the nail is hardened by the squeeze and drilling, this process is very easy to cause the wood to split.

Fifth, the use of 榫卯 to connect mahogany furniture is more advantageous than the use of nails, which can greatly enhance the intrinsic quality of mahogany furniture.
