Redwood furniture fraud

The common methods used to make fake mahogany furniture are:

First, stealing the column

A common practice is to mix wood of similar color or texture.

1, rosewood furniture

It is often mixed with old mahogany and deep red lacquer wood in places that are not obvious. The L. black rosewood of the black saplings of the genus Dalbergia, which is produced in the Madagascar Islands, pretends to be the sandalwood of India, namely sandalwood rosewood.

2, Huanghua pear

The so-called "Vietnamese huanghuali" produced in Vietnam, Laos, is the huanghua pear that is produced in Hainan Island. It is a rosewood that is produced in Laos or Laos and borders Myanmar. Pretending to be a huanghuali; mixing "Vietnamese huanghuali", rosewood and Hainan huanghuali; more daring, the yellow color of the rosewood is directly labeled as "huanghua pear", the buyer asked to say "Vietnamese huanghuali" "The actual Vietnamese huanghua pear is not."

3, rosewood

Avocado or rosewood having a dry density of not more than 0.76 g/cm3 produced in Africa or South America.

Second, the use of discoloration and sapwood and heartwood

The color of the wood is naturally formed, especially the hardwood is rarely consistent. In fact, this is one of the natural properties of wood. The wood is composed of sapwood and heartwood, generally near the bark, lighter in color, and moisture. More, called sapwood. In the surrounding part, the color is darker and the water is less, called the heartwood. The furniture used is the heartwood part. Because the sapwood is inconsistent with the color and specific gravity of the sapwood, it is generally not used for furniture production and should be discarded. For example, the sapwood of Hainan huanghuali is light grayish white or light yellow, and has no fragrance. It is the most harmful pest of termites. It is the natural food of termites, and its heartwood is fragrant and fragrant, and the scented oil is enriched. Termites do not like it. And the color of the heartwood is obviously different, so it is not possible to mix the two. In order to increase the yield and reduce the cost, some manufacturers use sapwood (also known as "white label") and heartwood to dye the sapwood with a heart color with a chemical dye. Red sandalwood, old redwood and rosewood all have this phenomenon. This cost can be reduced a lot, and the market price is also very competitive.

The color of wood heartwood is difficult to match completely, as is huanghuali, red sandalwood, old mahogany or rosewood. Some manufacturers use dyeing technology to make them consistent. For example, the new cut material of Hainan Huanghua Pear is dyed reddish brown, much like the old material, dyeing the slightly colored yellow pears into the same color, but the texture is still clearly visible.

Third, cut corners

1, reduce the original size of the furniture

The overall size of the original is reduced, lengthened and shortened, curved straight, thick and thin. For example, the large side of the seat of the circle chair is generally 3.5cm, but there are many ring chairs on the market with only 1.5cm on the big side, or only 2cm, and good is 2.5~2.8cm. This can greatly save wood, reduce costs and increase market competitiveness. General collectors are not paying much attention to such places.

2, simplification or no flaws at all , some manufacturers use machine flow, the furniture link from the outside surface is flawed, in fact, the machine is eye-catching and then using chemical glue, there is no traditional, tight-fitting 榫卯 structure. This also greatly increases production efficiency.

3, stitching and skinning

The front legs of the circle chair and the back and forth must be "one wood", that is, a piece of wood runs from top to bottom. Is it "one wood to do", it must be seen whether the texture above and below can be linked, the color is consistent. "One wood is even" consumes a large amount of material, and when it is connected by two pieces, it can be used with small materials, and the cost is greatly reduced, but it also affects the overall taste and viewing effect.

Nowadays, due to the soaring prices of huanghuali and red sandalwood, a few enterprises have smashed huanghuali and red sandalwood into veneers and attached them to the surface of furniture. The thickness of the veneer is about 0.2mm, which is almost transparent. There are two kinds of stickers: First, the surface of the veneer and the substrate are always, but the material of the substrate is poor, and the defects are different or the length is different. Second, the surface veneer is completely inconsistent with the substrate, such as the surface of the yellow pear. Plate, the substrate may be grass pear or other cheaper wood.

4, copper live:

Hardwood furniture for investment and collection, copper work is also very particular about, must use the best color, feel good brass or high quality white copper, good white copper is generally rare. Nowadays, the copper skin on the market is often used, and it is attached to the furniture after cutting, and the degree of biting is very poor. Copper is the finishing touch, and if the accessories are not appropriate, it has a great relationship to the overall visual effect of the furniture.

5, wax live:

Hardwood furniture generally wax, wax or shake wax, especially red sandalwood, huanghuali, different materials of furniture wax is not the same. It is a pity that at present, many furniture manufacturers use the imported "British wax" in order to spend less money and use the method of color finding. They also use floor wax or paraffin to make the original natural and simple color of the furniture. Will change immediately, or slowly change color and lose the original taste. Good natural wax for furniture is 150 yuan / kg or 300 yuan / kg. The floor wax is only 100 yuan in a barrel, and there is not much money in a ton of paraffin. The mystery is here. In particular, the hot waxing and baking wax technology is complicated, time-consuming and costly, which is unwilling to be done by ordinary businessmen.

6, adhesive

The traditional carp of the traditional furniture is generally better with the yellow croaker, and the more important is the shark scorpion, which is convenient for the disassembly and repair of the furniture. Both the squatting and the squatting are very careful and labor-intensive, and the heavy-duty summer is not suitable for tanning and captaining. Nowadays, some enterprises often use imported glue or domestic "502", "101" and "two brothers" Jiangjiatun structure to stick to death when they are new or repairing furniture. In the future, it is generally difficult to open and repair, and the cost is of course lower. .

The tip of the iceberg, which is mentioned above, as an investment and collector, don’t be eager for quick success or have the misconception that hardwood furniture will appreciate. First of all, you should read more professional books, such as Wang Shizhen, Zhu Jiayu, Hu Desheng, Zhang Dexiang, and Hu Wenyan's works; listen to experts or practical and experienced professional advice; look at museums, such as the Palace Museum, Summer Palace, Chengde Mountain Resort, The Shanghai Museum, first optimistic about the real thing, first establish the "good" standard, then turn to the market, go deep into the factory to see the old, fake, and look at the white 茬 live (that is, unpolished, not waxed , unpainted furniture or furniture parts). Fans can test their hands to be able to talk about investment and collection.
