Red rosewood wood is a kind of mahogany and is a high-end and precious wood. It is precisely because of its preciousness that some unscrupulous merchants often pass it off as good and fake it. Red rosewood wood has a sour smell, diffuse porous wood, reddish brown and dark brown or purple-black wood, weak oiliness, air-dry density 0.9-1.2 grams per cubic centimeter. Simply put, the color difference between the upper and lower sides of a piece of wood should not be too big, especially the direction of the wood grain should be basically the same; the original color of the wood cannot be easily wiped off with just two wipes with water.

At present, the one with the greatest appreciation potential is Laos red rosewood. The pattern of Laos red rosewood is beautiful, elegant and fresh, with distinct texture and layers, with dark brown or brown straight filamentous stripes. It has high density and can sink in water. Compared with other red rosewood, it is not easy to crack. It not only has the charming pattern of huanghuali, but also has the steady and majestic color of red sandalwood. Therefore, red rosewood, small-leaf red sandalwood, and huanghuali are also known as the "three major tribute trees" dedicated to the palace.

In my country, Laos red rosewood is widely used to make various types and styles of high-end mahogany classical furniture. It is also suitable for making decorative crafts, musical instruments, carvings, etc. Before 2005, a good meal of Laos red rosewood cost less than 10,000 yuan, and the quantity was already very scarce. What can be expected is that if strict protection is not carried out, within five years, Laos red rosewood will be as rare as Hainan huanghuali.

Since 2012, the price of rosewood furniture has been rising. An 11-piece set of Qing-style furniture made of Bali rosewood is about 220,000 yuan, and a three-piece bed set in the bedroom series (bed, bedside table) is about 100,000 yuan. The price of some expensive Siamese rosewood 10-piece living room series has reached around 700,000. The prices of red rosewood furniture from different tree species vary greatly. In 2014, the prices of red rosewood furniture showed an upward trend to varying degrees.
