Yellow rosewood and small-leaved rosewood are particularly prominent.
II. Grading of Red Wood Furniture Materials
1、First-class, Huanghua Li, Purplewood
Rosewood, often referred to as the "King of Woods," is renowned for its exceptional hardness and lack of grain. Primarily sourced from India and Southeast Asia, Indian rosewood is particularly prized for its unique patterns, such as "cow hair" and "gold star" grain, and its beautiful appearance. It is commonly used in furniture making. Due to the scarcity of high-quality rosewood, it is highly sought after in the market.Similarly, various types of "golden ebony" exist, including Hainan golden ebony and Vietnamese golden ebony. Due to differences in their growing environments, their properties also vary. Hainan golden ebony is generally considered to be of higher quality. It is frequently used in the production of furniture and handicrafts.
2、Second grade: Black heartwood and striped ebony
Black ebony has 8 species, with Lacewood Ebony and East African Ebony being the best. Striped ebony, produced in Indonesia, is also excellent. Furthermore, Black ebony is a specific type of ebony clearly defined in the "National Red Wood Standard," growing in tropical regions, commonly found in Southeast Asian countries, as well as East Africa and Indonesia, with heartwood in chestnut brown. The furniture made from it is strong and durable, and can withstand centuries without deformation.
3、Level 3, Red Cranberry
This species, commonly known as large red heartwood, includes 7 different tree species. It has a fragrant aroma and a fine, clear grain, and is primarily found in tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Central America. In northern China, this wood is known as "Old Red Wood," and in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, it is referred to as "Acid Wood."
4、Fourth class, chicken wing wood
Because the grain of rosewood resembles that of a chicken's feathers, it is very beautiful and is commonly used for making tea sets and tea-related items. The grain of chicken wing wood is interwoven, and the wood has no scent. The cross-section of the wood is fresh yellow, and after contact with air, it turns brown or dark brown. It is mainly divided into African mahogany, white mahogany, and ironwood. The rosewood furniture manufactured is relatively inexpensive and of good quality.
5、Grade 5, Walnut.
This includes 7 types of wood, with large-grain purpleheart and hedgehog heartwood being most prevalent in the market. These are primarily sourced from South America and Africa, and are characterized by their high density. Maple wood has a grain pattern of blue, gray, and reddish-brown. Furthermore, there are distinctions between old maple and new maple, also known as yellow maple. Old maple has a color ranging from light yellow to reddish-purple, with clear and beautiful grain, and a pleasant scent. The color of new maple is reddish-yellow, with a slightly less distinct grain pattern compared to old maple.
