How much is the price of rosewood per jin? The raw materials in the wholesale circle generally range from 300 to 2000 per jin, and tree tumors are the most expensive. 300 per jin of material to make beads is basically impossible to see. I only choose 400-1800 per jin of material, but many players in the market who wander around half a bottle do not understand and will not see whether the material is good or bad. If you open your mouth and shut up, you have to have a string of more than 70 grams. So how much is the rosewood per jin?

The price of lobular red sandalwood logs has doubled in recent years. A Mr. Wang in Beijing bought 10 tons of old materials in 2000 for 50, 000 yuan a ton and wanted to make furniture. Since then, he has sold 8 million yuan, or 800000 a ton, in 2011. since then, it has basically maintained an increase of more than 20% a year, that is, nearly 1.4 million a ton, or 700 yuan per jin. One jin of rosewood can be made into four hand beads with a diameter of 0.6 centimeters, then the cost of the glossy material is 175 yuan, and the addition of other labor, water, electricity and taxes will be close to 300 yuan, which does not count the profits of the production enterprise. In other words, if the old material 0.6 can not be less than 300 yuan, 0.8-1.2 specifications can not be less than 400, 1.5-2.0 can not be less than 500.

The simplest way is to gently wipe the surface of the wood with alcohol cotton balls. If the cotton balls are purplish red, they are red sandalwood; you can also scrape a little wood powder from the wood and soak it in the wine. If there are blood-red silk strips in the dust, it is red sandalwood. The old red sandalwood does not fade when it is immersed in water, and the color will be wiped off as soon as it is rubbed; after the new red sandalwood is immersed in water, it will not fade.

To identify rosewood, you can also use the method of comparison, through the sensory comparison of wood grain and feel to judge. According to years of research and practical experience, we summed up the "five-step red sandalwood identification method".

The first step is to "look."

Compare the texture features of rosewood and observe the color carefully. It is best to prepare two or three authentic red sandalwood samples with different textures and compare them. If you see too much, you will find the feeling of identifying the texture of red sandalwood.

The second step is "OK".

Take care of the red sandalwood object, on the one hand, to see whether it reaches the weight of the rosewood (the volume should be reached); on the other hand, pay attention to the feel in the process. Generally speaking, when there are more than 800 items of red sandalwood, they will feel it. What is the feel? It can only be understood, but it cannot be put into words.

The third step is to "smell"

Scrape the stubble with a knife and smell the sawdust. "sandalwood red sandalwood" has a slight fragrance, if the fragrance is too strong or no aroma is suspicious. "Lu's black sandalwood" has a sour smell, the smell is relatively strong.

The fourth step is "bubble".

Soak the sawdust or sawdust of red sandalwood in water or spirits. The extract of red sandalwood sawdust water is purplish red with fluorescence on it. Red sandalwood sawdust can be dyed after soaking with alcohol and will never fade.

The fifth step is "knock".

With authentic red sandalwood blocks, preferably "red sandalwood ruler", gently tap the red sandalwood object, listen to its sound? The percussion of the rosewood was clear and melodious and there was no noise.

Mastering the five-step identification method of "seeing", "OK", "smell", "bubble" and "knock" requires a familiar process, which will be greatly shortened if there is expert advice. In fact, it can be said that there are no shortcuts or no shortcuts to identify red sandalwood. No shortcut is to accumulate in a down-to-earth way; there are shortcuts: look, check, hear, bubble, and knock.
