As a precious wood, huanghuali has become more and more rare under the craze of collections in recent years. Correspondingly, prices have risen. Driven by the interests, some unscrupulous merchants attempted to fish in troubled waters and made a fortune in this wave of “high fever and no retreat”.

Huanghua pear is very easy to survive, but it is extremely difficult to become a material. A tree with a thick bowl can only be used for the size of a rolling pin. The real material needs a growth period of hundreds of thousands of years. Its hard wood is the finest material for making classic hardwood furniture.

Touch surface

Hainan huanghuali: The surface is smooth, such as baby skin, and the feeling of warm and jade is the main reason for the appearance of sea yellow with extremely high density, very fine texture and cell structure and very dense material structure.

It is because of such a rich oil content that after a piece of sea yellow item has been played for a while, the surface will begin to form a layer of crystal clear, amber-like texture, which is called "pachet" in the industry.
