Redwood is not mahogany?
Many people have this question, red sandalwood is mahogany? Because we all know, mahogany is a series of valuable wood, the general term, many businesses on the market that authentic red sandalwood, in the end, red sandalwood is mahogany? For this reason there are many different opinions. Below I will simply give you some red sandalwood is not mahogany as well as some valuable wood some common sense.
First of all, red sandalwood is not present in the classification of natural precious wood, it is now a lot of businessmen called out to confuse the mahogany, and mahogany is a series of precious wood in general. Their growth cycle is very long, hundreds of years to grow a few centimeters in width. It is a series of timber with a very small stock**.
Then, the current market sells almost no real mahogany, the vast majority of fake or other wood confusion. If you hear the seller say red sandalwood when you buy, it must be fake. I hope you pay attention to screening.
Of course, to buy a good quality mahogany must be to the regular timber store to buy, can not be greedy for a moment of cheap and cheated. Mahogany is valuable wood, carved out of mahogany crafts are also valuable, is well worth a good collection.
