Why is Lao mahogany more expensive than Myanmar mahogany?

The density, hardness and oiliness of old rosewood are much better than those of Burmese rosewood. The most important point is that the high-grade old furniture in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were all made of old rosewood, which has been used for hundreds of years in terms of wood stability and has historical and cultural value and high social awareness. In recent years, Burmese rosewood has been classified as mahogany, and many people use it to make mahogany furniture, which has little historical and cultural value.

Mahogany is a general term for high-grade and expensive furniture materials in China. Mahogany is produced in tropical areas and belongs to Leguminosae and Pterocarya. Originally refers to red hardwood, with a wide variety; After 1980s, people's demand for mahogany is increasing day by day, and the industry needs to be standardized urgently. The state standardizes redwoods according to density and other indicators, and standardizes them into 33 species belonging to eight categories, five genera and two families.
