How to distinguish African hedgehog rosewood from yellow gorgeous wood
First,? funny face
Hedgehog rosewood is often named for its drum nails on its skin, which come out of heartwood and penetrate sapwood. In radial section, it shows grimaces and spikes (some people call them golden drum nails). Red sandalwood hedgehog has more faces than Huang Huali. The face of the red sandalwood hedgehog is caused by the spikes of the drum, and the spikes of the drum are covered layer by layer, forming a pattern of overlapping small peaks. The dark stripes on both sides are not like continuous waves, but the surface of hedgehog rosewood is more like eucalyptus.

The surface of Huang Huali is different from that of the hedgehog rosewood. The surface of huanghuali is formed because the joints are not absorbed by heartwood, like a nail embedded in heartwood. Due to the relatively harsh growth environment in Huang Huali, Hainan, the survival needs also led to the emergence of multiple buds at the same time. At this time, it is not called face, but beech. Although it is a beech, it is still made up of faces.

The new buds in Huang Huali are usually double-bud, triple-bud and quadruple-bud, so there are two, three and four sections in parallel. There are two black spots, three black spots and four black spots when the vertical seam is cut. Together with the surrounding dark stripes, the faces of "eyes with mouths" and "eyes with mouths and noses" are formed.

When the joints of huanghuali were cut, it was like a nail that stirred up waves. The dark stripes on both sides are coherent, and you can also see the traces of joints being absorbed by heartwood.
Second,? Brown eyes and dark stripes
Hedgehog rosewood's brown eyes are the same color as dark stripes. It is difficult to distinguish dark stripes without careful observation of brown eyes, and brown eyes are not deeply immersed in the wood surface.

The brown eyes of Huanghua pear are darker than the dark stripes. Even on the dark stripes, it is easy to identify the shape and length of brown eyes, including crab claws and wheat ears, and brown eyes are deeply immersed in the wood surface.
