Identification of ebony (gloomy wood)

The essence of the sultan wood is carbonized wood (the wood that is naturally carbonized by some special tree species under special geographical conditions). It is between carbon and wood and has its own unique woody nature. Whether it is gloomy or not, it is generally carbonized. To the extent that carbonization is too strong, it becomes coal. As for the traditional rumors of evil spirits, etc., it belongs to the extended cultural category, which often makes it easy for everyone to cast a mysterious veil when identifying the Yinmu wood.

The sultan wood is the genus of charcoal wood, so its tree body is mostly black and black, showing carbonization (the longer the general age is, the higher its carbonization degree), its carbonized appearance is similar to the coke that has been grilled, carbonized and cracked; the carbonized wood is white Paper painting does not produce black scratches with ordinary charcoal; some experienced masters generally evaluate the general age and possible from the appearance of carbonization, polished cross-section conditions, and feel. Forming tree species to determine whether it belongs to the level of gloomy; trees that generally enter the gloomy level, at least for thousands of years of infiltration (oxidative carbonization); other years of incomplete [carbonization deficiency] sometimes only water sinking wood [partial water sinking wood It is only that the bubble is formed under water for many years, and it does not have some formation conditions under the condition of “hypoxia and high pressure”];

There are many kinds of ebony [gloomy wood], including: willow tree, Cyclobalanopsis, Camphor tree, Nanmu (Phoebe nanmu, Xiaoyenan) red ash, yew, horsewood, willow, cork, eucalyptus, sandalwood, etc. . Generally, trees with scent and bactericidal characteristics can form ebony (but not all formed sapwoods have scent, which depends on the different geographical characteristics of the formed tree species, and determine whether there is scent; Wood has aroma). The 3 metre-diameter large ebony was also found in the Mianyuan River area of ​​Deyang City, showing how beautiful and spectacular the ecological environment was in ancient times.

Ebony [gloomy wood] is inherently hard (the hardest of the iron and the hardwood, the red and the dark wood are softer; whether it forms a gloomy wood and returns to the sun [natural dryness] can sink under the water, mainly depending on the species of the tree It can be used for sinking and floating; especially some small pieces of finished products are generally floating on the surface of the water, so it is impossible to identify whether it is a gloomy wood if it sinks in the water. It is mostly brownish black, black red, gold, and tan. . The cut surface is smooth, the wood grain is fine, and the polished surface can reach the mirror surface brightness, and some ebony essences are similar to the red sandalwood. It never fades, does not decay, does not worm, is the ideal material for making art and antique furniture.

The sultan wood is more peculiar than the ordinary wood. Generally, the wood (water sapwood is also a special case) burns white ash, while the sinister wood burns yellow ash. The color of the water is deepened, and the original color is restored after the water is dried; the small vegetable oil is black and bright, and does not fade. When most of the gloomy trees are unearthed, the heart of the tree has decayed, leaving only the middle of the tree head and the trunk; the surface that has been severely carbonized cannot be used as a general material, and it is generally necessary to plan the outer layer and leave the wooden heart.
