The difference between Xianmu and Ironwood

Constitutional wood and ironwood are the same tree species, but they are called differently in each region. Ironwood is a scientific name, while constitutional wood is another name, which is often used in chopping block production.

First, what are the advantages of making ironwood chopping boards?

1. Lift the chopping block by hand. If it feels heavier than ordinary wood, this chopping board may be an iron chopping board; if it is not very heavy, it is a chopping board made of other miscellaneous trees.

2. If the iron wood vegetable board adopts the technology of high temperature and high pressure cooking, concentrated brine soaking and peanut oil soaking, the factors affecting the cracking of the chopping board can be eliminated to the maximum extent, thus the anti-cracking performance of the chopping board can be greatly enhanced.

3. Because of its long age, fine and hard wood fiber, the chopping board made of "iron wood" has the advantages of not being able to afford chopping board mud, cleanliness and hygiene, and long service life. The darker the color, the better. The section is marbled and dark green, and it is as strong as iron.

What is the wood value of ironwood?

The material of ironwood is dense, heavy, sinking into the water, as hard as steel, tapping can make a clanging sound like metal, cutting and processing are very difficult, and even nails can not be nailed in, it can be said to be "bulletproof" steel wood. Ironwood is so hard, in addition to its own very slow growth, dense texture, but also because it was born in limestone mountains. In order to absorb nutrients, its roots go deep into the cracks in the rock, absorb a lot of calcareous minerals and accumulate in the wood, thus becoming particularly hard. The wood of ironwood is ruddy, non-bending, non-cracking, water-resistant and rot-resistant, so it is a high-quality wood.

In addition, the number of domestic ironwood population has been declining in the past 30 years, and due to man-made logging, resulting in poor natural regeneration, has shown an increasingly endangered situation, and has been listed as a national second-class protected plant. So, don't cut down indiscriminately.
