In the newly implemented mahogany furniture national standard, the use of new tree species resources, including the owing to well-known tree species resources, has disappeared. In the game of “red-hot” and “innovation” in the mahogany furniture industry, the red-hot party that supported the “old mahogany” finally gained the upper hand.

Controversial mahogany

At that time, the approval draft clearly stated: "When selecting mahogany furniture materials, we should continue to expand the use of new tree species resources, including under-resourced tree species resources, based on the scientific understanding and use of traditional hardwood species. Physical and mechanical properties are an important basis for scientific selection." This means that more species can be included in the "redwood" category.

The “First Financial Daily” learned through the National Furniture Standardization Committee that in order to prevent unrestricted expansion of “redwood” tree species and avoid disputes in the mahogany furniture industry, the new national standard for mahogany wood and the national standard for redwood wood released in 2000, “China” The National Standard of the People's Republic of China (Redwood) has remained consistent.

The “new tree species resources” are now being approved for approval in the national standard of mahogany furniture, reflecting the game between “protection red” and “innovation”.

Wang Ke, vice chairman of the China Furniture Association, told reporters that in the mahogany market, the contradiction between the "protection red" and the "innovation" has a long history. “There are different interest groups in it, so there is no consensus.”

The mahogany market is like a cluster of mahogany furniture industry transformation is imminent

“Redwood Furniture” is a salient term for traditional Chinese hardwood furniture. “Redwood” is not a specific species, but a general term for wood.

In the folk, the narrow mahogany is also called old mahogany, mainly refers to Sian rosewood, Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali, and Indian lobular rosewood. The broad redwood refers to the "5 genera and 8 classes" in the old national standard. It has added more than 20 species to the four old redwoods. Currently, 33 species are defined as redwood.

In fact, some of the precious redwoods in the national standard of mahogany wood are in an endangered state, especially Hainan huanghuali. Wang Ke told reporters that in order to make the mahogany furniture industry sustainable, the innovation group has suggested that some trees that are close in structure, density, oil quality and texture should be included in the category of “redwood”.

"Shut up" is an open secret in the industry

This claim put forward by the innovation party has caused dissatisfaction with the "red-hot". Some mahogany furniture manufacturers said that there are already various chaos in the market composed of 33 species of 5 kinds of 8 kinds of mahogany in the national standard of mahogany wood. If the redwood species are expanded, it will lead to more confusion. "If you go on like this, mahogany is really not expensive."

In the current mahogany furniture market, Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali and Indian rosewood are the most high-end products.

The reporter learned that Hainan huanghuali, which is 10~15 cm in diameter and 1 meter long, sold 12 million to 16 million yuan/ton. "The bulk of the materials bought from the hawkers in the Hainan countryside is even more expensive." A mahogany furniture manufacturer told reporters that a piece of wood with a diameter of 30 cm and a length of 2 meters has been sold for 10,500 yuan. Due to the strong resource scarcity and government protection of Hainan Huanghua Pear, the market can only replace Hainan huanghuali with Vietnamese huanghuali. At present, the price of Vietnamese huanghuali has climbed to 4 million to 5 million. In yuan/ton, in 2006, Vietnamese huanghuali was only 80,000 yuan/ton. In addition, the market price of Indian rosewood has also reached 1.5 million yuan / ton.

Apart from the three high-end woods of Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali and Indian rosewood, Sian rosewood is the most popular darling in the market as the “old mahogany” that has long been relished by the people. Sian rosewood is commonly known as Siamese rosewood, and its origin is Southeast Asian countries such as Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Since the Thai government has banned the export of this red rosewood, the main sources of Siamese rosewood currently on the market are Laos and Cambodia, but in recent years the market for Siamese rosewood has been more chaotic.

The reporter visited a large-scale timber market in Shanghai and found that there are nearly 20 kinds of red rosewood, dimple Dalbergia, arborvitae, rosewood, purple sandalwood, black rosewood, Panama rosewood, and African rosewood. Wood of varying prices.

In other several mahogany furniture markets, basically only the more expensive mahogany furniture marked "Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali, Indian rosewood, Sian rosewood, striped ebony".

A "circle man" from the Redwood family told reporters that using some of the cheaper "new mahogany" to act as an old mahogany is an "open secret" in the industry, especially the red rosewood.

Due to the dimpled Dalbergia in the area of ​​Mexico (the red rosewood in the old national standard), it is very similar to the red rosewood in Laos and Cambodia, and is often used as the latter to varying degrees, but the former timber market The purchase price is 50,000 yuan/ton, and the latter is based on the size of the wood. The price ranges from 70,000 to 150,000 yuan/ton. In addition, the purchase price of 30,000 yuan / ton, from the Panamanian dimpled Dalbergia is often used as an authentic red rosewood, although Panama's grain is thicker than Mexico's, but as long as the furniture is painted instead of waxing, you can still get away with it. of.

"Don't look carefully, sometimes we will treat Mexico as Laos." A person engaged in the sale of Siamese rosewood in the timber market also confirmed to reporters the above-mentioned manufacturers.

The people in the circle told reporters that when they went to Laos and Cambodia to select wood, they found that the red rosewood there had been nearly cut down. “Especially Laos, 90% have been cut down.” The source said that after the cuts in these countries, no second country can find such materials, and now many wood wholesalers in Beijing have begun. Hoarding red rosewood.
