illustrate:
1. Agarwood and Laoshan sandalwood only have small pieces, carvings, and decorations, but no furniture products.
2. Most of the chicken wings on the market are African chicken wings or other chicken wings, and the price difference between Burmese chicken wings is large.
3. The above-mentioned woods are dense, and some will sink when exposed to water, so they are called hardwoods. Red sandalwood huanghuali is called "the king of hardwoods"
Golden nanmu is a precious wood in our country. Because of its low density, it is moist and bright, and has a pleasant fragrance. It is called "the king of cork", and because of its anti-corrosion and moth resistance, it was mostly used as beams and columns in temples and palaces before. .
4. The red sandalwood, black sandalwood, and green sandalwood used in the market are all fake sandalwood, which has nothing to do with red sandalwood, and the price difference is too far. African huanghuali has a good pattern, but its taste restricts its development, and the price is relatively cheap.
