Chapter 153 Restoration of the old mahogany moon door canopy bed

"Whether it is illegal or not is not determined by man?

How did you get your old mahogany moon door canopy bed?

Is it an antique?
Antiques are not allowed to be sold privately, do you think it is illegal?
So, be strict with your mouth, but don't say that you received a perfect-grade Ru kiln green glaze peach-shaped brush washer.

Otherwise, you’ll just wait for those old fellows from the Palace Museum to pester you every day, asking you to donate this peach-shaped Ru kiln green-glazed brush washer to the Palace Museum. "The old lady reminded with a smile.

"Understood, Grandma Liu! I must be strict with my mouth, and I will never speak out." Zhang Junping nodded.

Every man is innocent of his guilt.

Only a fool would talk nonsense, he has a peach-shaped Ru kiln green glaze brush washer in his hand.

"What are you up to lately? You are a typical boy who forgets his mother when he has a wife. He hides outside the school and lives with your daughter-in-law. It's hard for even me, a master, to see you."

"Master, it's not because I've been too busy recently that I didn't come back. I will try to spend more time to come back to accompany you in the future and go to your place to eat more." Zhang Junping squeezed the old lady's shoulders in a fawning manner.

"Some time ago, I took a job to design the characters in the play for the crew of "Journey to the West", and I just finished my work.

Then starting yesterday, I asked all the workers in the furniture factory to work overtime for two hours for skills training. "Zhang Junping reported his recent experience to the old lady.

"It's okay, I'm not getting carried away!" The old lady nodded in satisfaction.

CAFA’s teaching is very lenient. Zhang Junping has now been allowed to graduate early and has been admitted as a graduate student in the Department of Sculpture in an exceptional manner. It is even more lenient.

What the old lady cared about was not whether Zhang Junping went back to school, but whether Zhang Junping was messing around outside.

Zhang Junping chatted with the old lady for a while and made the old lady happy before leaving.

After leaving school, Zhang Junping went to DreamWorks and asked Huang Juan to tell Huang Xue that she should accompany the old lady for dinner at night.

The furniture factory had just started working overtime, so he had to keep an eye on it, and he was also responsible for giving lectures to the eldest brother-in-law and the others, so he really couldn't leave, so he had to let Huang Xue do his filial piety for him.

Then, I ran for another morning, and finally bought all the spring coils and sponges, enough for the furniture factory to use for the next month.

……

It was another busy afternoon. Zhang Junping spent the whole afternoon studying the old mahogany Yuedongmen canopy bed, and only drew a dozen sketches.

If you want to restore it to look similar to the photo, all the fences of the old mahogany Yuedongmen canopy bed are unusable and must be replaced with new ones.

During the research, Zhang Junping shook his head in distress.

The railing of the old mahogany moon gate canopy bed is made with silver inlaid patterns.

It was the silver thread inlaid on the fence board that made the whole old mahogany Yuedongmen canopy bed suffer an indiscriminate disaster.

Those who destroyed the canopy bed, in order to buckle the silver wires, destroyed the fence panels so badly that they couldn't re-insert the silver wires.

Only the fencing panels can be replaced.

In fact, the silver wires on the fence are really not worth much, and all of them add up to not weigh much, only about two taels.

But the person who destroyed it didn't know it, he only knew that silver was valuable, so for a little silver thread, the whole fence board was buckled into a bad shape.

After research, Zhang Junping began to struggle again.

The perspective drawing and structural drawing are all drawn, and the original appearance of the old mahogany moon gate canopy bed is perfectly restored from the drawing.

However, it is still a bit difficult to restore the real thing.

The biggest difficulty is the lack of materials.

The fence boards of the old mahogany moon gate canopy bed are all made of a whole piece of aniseed material.

He didn't have such a big material in his hand, so he couldn't destroy other furniture just to restore the old mahogany Yuedongmen canopy bed?

It has been a while since Section Chief Sun was asked to help collect the old wood, and I don't know what's going on.

There has been no news.

If it doesn't work, I will go to the Beijing Woodware Factory tomorrow to see if there is any old mahogany in stock.

PS: Old mahogany is called in the north, and it is called rosewood in the south.

After dinner, all the workers continued to work overtime, while Zhang Junping continued to explain the application and deformation of the mortise and tenon structure to the eldest brother-in-law.

Zhang Junping estimated that it will take another three days to finish all the lectures, and then they will actually do it themselves.

Learning, and being able to use are two concepts.

There are a total of 140 eight mortise and tenon structures, and it takes less than a day to learn, but how to use them, which mortise and tenon structure is applied to which part of which furniture.

This is not easy, each tenon and tenon structure can be applied to several or even a dozen furniture parts.

Conversely, for the connection of a furniture part, there are several or even more than a dozen mortise and tenon structures to choose from.

How to choose, this is a knowledge that will test kung fu.

It is necessary to consider the impact of climate differences between the north and the south on furniture, the impact of furniture materials, the impact of furniture component sizes, and the stress of different furniture components.

If you want to study and understand, you really have to work hard.

What Zhang Junping has to do now is to put it in their minds first, whether they can understand it or not, remember it first, and then slowly understand it.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Junping went directly to the Beijing Woodware Factory.

"Director Zhang, welcome, welcome!" Director Li warmly welcomed Zhang Junping into the office.

Zhang Junping was his big customer first. Not only did he pack 30 yuan for the Ming and Qing antique furniture from the woodware factory, but he also placed a huge order.

"Director Li, I came here this time to see if there is any old mahogany in our factory." Zhang Junping said directly after taking his seat.

"Director Zhang wants old mahogany?" Director Li asked in surprise.

Previously, Zhang Junping only said he wanted Hainan huanghuali and golden nanmu, but he didn't say he wanted old redwood.

"Yes, I don't know if our carpentry factory still has any stocks, so give us some."

"Mr. Zhang, you are here. Our carpentry factory really has a lot of old mahogany in stock, all of which are old materials from more than 100 years ago. How much do you need?" Director Li was overjoyed.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the royal family abandoned Hainan huanghuali and began to pursue furniture made of small-leaf red sandalwood and old mahogany.

In the feudal dynasty, the love of the royal family was a barometer of the industry. For a while, old mahogany became the second most precious wood after small-leaf red sandalwood.

As we all know, small-leaf red sandalwood is difficult to produce.

As a result, old mahogany has become the first choice for making furniture, especially large pieces of furniture.

Affected by this, the major woodware factories in Beijing will naturally purchase large quantities of old mahogany, and even hoard old mahogany.

As mentioned earlier, Beijing Woodware Factory was formed by the merger of more than 30 woodware factories.

Perhaps one woodworking factory does not have much inventory, but more than 30 woodworking factories put together have a lot of inventory.

"How much do you have?" Zhang Junping almost said how much you have and how much I want, but swallowed the words and changed, "If possible, give me half.

If there are many other woods, I will share half of them. "
