Title: It only takes 3 seconds to distinguish the authenticity of red sandalwood?
In traditional Chinese culture, red sandalwood is known as the "king of wood", its hard texture, deep color, beautiful texture, is a high-quality material for making high-end furniture. However, with the hot red sandalwood market, there are also a large number of counterfeit and shoddy products on the market, which is dazzling and difficult to distinguish between real and fake. So, is there an easy and quick way for us to identify the authenticity of red sandalwood in just 3 seconds?
The answer is yes. Below, I will introduce you to a simple and easy method that only takes 3 seconds to identify the authenticity of red sandalwood.
First of all, we need to prepare a regular nail file. Then, gently scrape the nail file over the rosewood. At this time, we will see some white powder falling off the surface of the rosewood. This is because true red sandalwood is rich in pterosandrin, a substance that oxidizes to white when it comes into contact with air. Pseudopterostilbene does not contain pterosandene, so this phenomenon will not occur.
Next, we need to place the fallen white powder in the palm of our hand and gently rub it with our fingers. If these powders can become smooth after rubbing, then it means that it is true red sandalwood. Because the powder of true red sandalwood will become more delicate after rubbing, there is a greasy feeling. The powder of false red sandalwood will become coarser after rubbing, and there is no such feeling.
Finally, we need to soak the kneaded powder in clean water. If the powder dissolves quickly in water, then it is true red sandalwood. Because the powder of true red sandalwood can quickly dissolve in water, while the powder of false red sandalwood will float on the surface of the water in water and cannot be dissolved.
Through the above three steps, we can identify the authenticity of red sandalwood in just 3 seconds. This method is simple and easy, does not require any professional knowledge and skills, and can be easily done with just a regular nail file and a glass of water.
However, although this method is very simple, we cannot rely on it alone to determine whether the red sandalwood is real or fake. Because in practice, it may be affected by many factors, resulting in deviations in the results. Therefore, when we identify red sandalwood, we also need to combine other methods, such as observing the texture, color, smell, etc., in order to more accurately judge the authenticity of red sandalwood.
In general, although we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy in identifying the authenticity of red sandalwood, we can greatly improve the accuracy of identification through the above methods. Moreover, this method is simple and easy to implement, does not require any professional knowledge and skills, and is very suitable for ordinary consumers.
Here, I would like to remind you that when buying rosewood furniture, you must choose a regular merchant to avoid being deceived by counterfeit and shoddy products. At the same time, we must also learn to protect our consumer rights and interests, and complain to the relevant departments in a timely manner when we encounter problems to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.
Finally, I hope that the above information can help you better identify the authenticity of rosewood, so that you can be more assured when buying rosewood furniture.
