Red sandalwood is one of the most valuable woods in the world, mainly produced in the tropical regions of the South Sea Islands, followed by the cross. China's Guangdong and Guangxi also produce rosewood, but the number is small. Indian lobular rosewood, also known as chicken blood rosewood, is the most precious wood known at present and is the most advanced of rosewood. As the saying goes, the largest sandalwood is only about 20 centimeters in diameter, and its preciousness can be imagined.

Red sandalwood is evergreen sub-arbor, high five or six feet high, leaves are compound leaves, flowers and butterflies, fruit has wings, wood is very strong, color red, sinking into the water. Red sandalwood is a kind of rare wood, also known as "green dragon wood". Leguminosae, evergreen large trees, odd-pinnate compound leaves, butterfly-shaped corollas, yellow, panicles.

Small leaf sandalwood is a fine piece of red sandalwood, usually referred to as "red sandalwood" (hereinafter "red sandalwood" is small leaf sandalwood). The density of red sandalwood is larger, the brown eye is smaller, and it is more prolific in tropical and subtropical virgin forests. The growth period of red sandalwood is extremely slow. It grows 3 centimeters per 100 years, and it can grow into a material for eight or nine hundred years and even thousands of years.

Red sandalwood, the full name of sandalwood rosewood, also known as Indian lobular rosewood, is an extremely precious mahogany in the international timber market. It is a high-grade mahogany furniture and joinery material. It is very scarce on the market. The price of wood is between 500,000 and 1 million/m3, and it is out of stock.

In all kinds of hardwoods, the redwood is the finest wood, the wood is the heaviest, and the wood grain is not obvious. The wood flower of the rosewood is placed in the white wine, and the wood flower will immediately decompose into a pink color, and form a relatively sticky gel with the wine, which can be connected into a line when poured. This is an effective method to identify rosewood. The origin of rosewood is mainly in India, and it is also produced in Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi. Red sandalwood is a genus of legumes, about fifteen species, and is prolific in the tropics. There are two ways to divide it. Red sandalwood, commonly known as small leaf sandalwood; one is rosewood, commonly known as big leaf sandalwood. Small leaf sandalwood rarely has large material, the diameter of the material is more than 20 cm, and then it will be hollow and can not be used. The small leaf sandalwood grain is not obvious, the color is purple and black, and some are dark and lacquered, and almost no texture is seen. It is generally believed that the rosewood imported from India by China is rosewood, that is, big-leaved sandalwood. The large leaf sandal texture is thicker and lighter in color. After the grinding, there are obvious wood lines, that is, brown eyes appear.
