There are several common mahogany furniture materials on the antique furniture market: red sandalwood, huanghuali, red rosewood, black rosewood, purple rosewood, and chicken wing wood. I will talk about the identification experience of these kinds of mahogany as a rosewood furniture enthusiast.
Red sandalwood: purple red, some are black and purple; the material color is more uniform, with purple-brown stripes (some stripes are not obvious). The wood is shiny and has a metal-like texture after polishing. The small cow hair is visible to the naked eye. The inside of the grain is fluorescent, with a slight sandalwood smell. The material is extremely hard and heavy. The wood contains red sandalwood, which is soluble in alcohol or ether and has a red mist (the red mist is slower than the red sandalwood or the Indian rosewood).
Huanghua pear: the heartwood is reddish brown, and the darkness becomes dark. The color of the material is uneven, often with dark brown stripes. The wood is shiny, oily, with a strong fragrance; the texture is oblique or staggered, the tube hole is very small, the material is hard and heavy, delicate.

Black rosewood: heartwood chestnut brown, visible black stripes. The wood is shiny, sometimes sour, the pipe hole is small, the grain is not obvious, the material is extremely hard and heavy, and some people often pretend to be red sandalwood, but look at the rich purple gas in the black sandalwood black, if anyone says this is big leaf Rosewood should not be mistaken for a variant of red sandalwood.
