Is African rosewood a redwood?

In the past two years, in the mahogany furniture market, many manufacturers are selling furniture called “African Rosewood” (referred to as “non-acid”). Is this African rosewood a redwood ? Is it the rosewood in the national standard of mahogany? What kind of wood is it? In the national standard of redwood, the red rosewood includes seven kinds of wood, and black rosewood includes eight kinds of wood. If you can understand the question of "what is the non-acid in the wood", then the question of whether it is the rosewood in the rosewood and the national standard is clear.

At present, most of the domestic non-acid logs are from Mozambique in East Africa. And what kind of wood is non-acid, there are different sayings in various channels: there are Kelly variegated beans, some are considered to be cola beans, some are considered to be Berk Sumu, and some are considered to be "non- Acid is not a kind of wood, but a general term for Kyle variegated beans, cola beans, and Berk Sumu. These conclusions are also derived from the more authoritative channels of quality supervision and inspection departments, customs departments, and senior timber people. Therefore, regarding the non-acid tree species, there is no final conclusion yet. The above conclusions are for reference.

At present, non-acid furniture on the mahogany furniture market, the common lacquer is like the color of red rosewood, but some are not red lacquered, closer to the true color of the light yellow to dark brown. Because of the problem of white skin and yield, this kind of primary color will have a higher requirement for reclaiming:
Although "non-acid" is not redwood, it is not the rosewood in the national standard of redwood. Compared with the red rosewood in the national standard, the material does have a big gap. However, in the "non-national standard mahogany", its density and stability are still in place. Moreover, when producing furniture, it is difficult to obtain materials, the yield of wood is not high, and the processing in production is also difficult. Therefore, the price of finished furniture is much lower than that of Siamese rosewood (Sian rosewood). Various real acid branches, such as squid (Bali Dalbergia) and White Branch (A. sylvestris), but slightly higher than the non-flower price.

In addition, the "National Standard" and "General Technical Conditions for Mahogany Furniture " have been implemented for many years, but the market is still not satisfactory in terms of the standardization of the logo, which has caused many consumers to confuse. In the face of doubts, the answers of the merchants are mostly vague. Resignation. Even recently, some well-known manufacturers have been marked on the non-acid furniture: "African Red Rosewood" and "Full Redwood". It seems that the norms of the mahogany market do have a long way to go. . .
