My system is not decent

Chapter 1900 Water Ripples Form Naturally

How to choose materials for making root carvings, and why is material selection important?

Because the texture and flowers inside the good root material will become more and more beautiful with time.

And this lock of flowers and color can best prove the location of its material.

This is precisely all the characteristics of the root material, the most difficult part to imitate.

The texture of the root material, the flowers and the coiled galls, both belong to "natural formation", and they are both indispensable elements in the creation of root carvings.

When the boils, galls, bast veins, and exposed texture and tone on the root material become the composition of the form and subject matter of the work, it is the expression of root carving art.

The shape of the root carving should have enough space and volume, perfect decent transformation, and smooth curve transition.

Guarantee the full viewing surface of the axis, and the works should reflect the "exquisite humanities" to the maximum extent.

The shape of the root carving should reflect the beauty of the material, respect the material structure of the root material, and use the chiseled reduction and time to open up the chaotic objects.

The work must be a single root, with raw materials, colors, fine polishing, and proper orchestration.

Chen Wenzhe wants to learn carving, and wood carving is the easiest way to learn.

He has a good foundation in jade carving, and his level is very high, so it is not difficult to learn wood carving.

However, his level of jade carving is all theoretical technical level and real hands-on ability. Instead, he only experienced the experience of the ancients with the help of Suihou Zhizhu, instead of doing it himself.

Now he wants to try it himself, naturally wood carving is more convenient.

Because wood carving is not difficult to carve, and the raw materials are not difficult to find.

Such as boxwood, sandalwood, beech, cypress, elm, gloomy wood, jujube and so on.

For Chen Wenzhe, it was too easy to find these ingredients.

Of course, there are some special hardwoods, and he needs to get some.

Chen Wenzhe is obsessed with collecting. No matter what it is, as long as he thinks it is good, he wants to collect as much as possible.

Anyway, the hardwood is well preserved and can be stored for many years. In addition, this thing can be regarded as a value-preserving item, so he naturally needs to collect more.

Don't think that wood is a renewable resource, so it doesn't hold its value. It's ordinary wood, really good hardwood, precious wood, especially old wood, which maintains and increases in value very stably.

There are also some things that ordinary people don't know, such as lychee wood.

Lychee wood, an evergreen tree, belongs to Sapindaceae.

It is also a hardwood, a superior wood, and it is very resistant to acid.

The material is hard and heavy, tough and durable, and is not afraid of water immersion. It is a good material for wood carving and furniture.

The old lychee wood that is more than a hundred years old has better ornamental value than ordinary mahogany because its roots are coiled and knotted.

Then there is jujube wood, which is rarely considered a precious wood.

Jujube tree is also a deciduous tree with a trunk height of up to 10 meters. The bark is rough, usually not too straight, and there are many knots on the surface, so the yield rate is not very high.

Because of its slow growth, heavy wood, high hardness, fine texture, wear resistance, not easy to be eaten by moths, and not easy to deform, the ancients usually used it as an ideal material for printing engraving.

Now jujube wood is not used for printing and engraving, so it will naturally be used to process some wood carvings, furniture and so on.

Jujube wood is hard and bright red in color, and it will turn red after being placed for a long time.

The texture of this tree is delicate, without obvious annual rings, and its appearance is extremely high;

Furthermore, jujube trees can naturally form water ripples due to their growth characteristics or human factors.

In terms of price, jujube is not as good as mahogany, but in terms of use value, there is little difference between the two.

People have always had a misunderstanding that jujube wood cannot be used as furniture.

But in fact, jujube wood is a very good wood for making furniture. The characteristics of jujube wood have been mentioned above.

The reason for this is that jujube wood was hard and difficult to process at that time.

It is not easy to make a small handle in your hand, let alone make furniture.

In modern society, the development of modern machinery has brought the possibility of jujube wood making furniture.

In recent years, mahogany prices have continued to rise.

Jujube wood is similar to mahogany in terms of texture and quality, so it is slowly entering the high-end consumer market.

There are a large number of people who grow jujube in northern my country, but due to the difficulty in processing and the lack of wood, it is difficult to guarantee that jujube will not become the next high-end wood species.

In addition, the value of lightning strike jujube wood in the market is higher, which is hard to come by, but counterfeit lightning strike wood also occupies a considerable amount.

Of course, jujube is not without flaws.

Although jujube is good, it also has disadvantages.

One is that jujube wood is easy to bend during the growth process, and cracks are easy to appear between the wood, so it is difficult to process;

The second is that jujube wood is hard but not tough. It has the characteristics of rigidity, but it has no flexibility, so it is not suitable for making particularly delicate objects.

Therefore, the jujube wood furniture commonly seen in the market all utilize the characteristics of high hardness, and there are basically no particularly delicate jujube wood objects.

However, in the market, the price is based on the principle that the rarest is the most expensive.

The difficulty of processing jujube wood and the lack of materials all determine that jujube wood furniture will have room for appreciation in the future.

For families in rural areas, if a jujube tree in the home suffers from mad jujube disease, it is a good choice to invite local carpenters to make jujube furniture. It would be a pity to burn it.

I believe that as people continue to recognize the value of jujube wood, the price of jujube wood will rise. When the time comes, after jujube wood loses its vitality, there will be a new choice and it will become people's favorite furniture.

Zaomu is one of the few types of top mahogany that ordinary people can easily touch.

Since there are several kinds, there are naturally more, such as Chinese toon wood and Ailanthus sinensis.

Few people know that these two types of wood are also mahogany.

Everyone is familiar with the toon tree, especially in spring, many friends like to eat toon scrambled eggs.

As a northerner, Chen Wenzhe naturally likes it very much. Every year, he also specially makes some toon sauce, which is simply delicious when paired with freshly made steamed buns.

In fact, toon wood can also be used as furniture when it grows up.

There is a custom in many places, that is, the custom of making "happy beds" with Chinese toon trees.

In the past, when young people got married, they made their own furniture.

In some places, toon trees are generally used to make beds for couples to get married, but it is not known what is particular about them.

In addition, the gates in the past were generally made of wood, and most of them were made of Chinese toon trees.

Because it is said that the door made of Chinese toon tree will make a sound, which can be heard when someone pushes the door, which can serve as a reminder.

Also, when building a house in the past, a piece of Chinese toon wood was always placed on it as a sign of auspiciousness.

So toon wood, is it expensive?

Regarding the price of toon wood, Chen Wenzhe also checked some market information because he wanted to collect mahogany.

He found that the price of Chinese toon wood is still relatively high.

However, the price of Chinese toon wood in different regions is still different.

In addition, the type of toon wood and quality issues should be considered.

At present, the price of Chinese toon wood on the market is generally around 2000 yuan per square meter.
