In the classical furniture design, the wood texture elements on the first position, only wings wood. Furniture re-pear shape, red sandalwood furniture, re-crafted, wooden furniture, heavy textured wings. The latter shows that non-interrupting factor is China's classical furniture design theory could shine. We are surprised ahead of the aesthetic charm of this ancient people, the concept of non-interrupting quietly melt into the furniture and human daily life, emphasizing the survival of man and nature co-prosperity of philosophy, it is indeed jumped to. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty scholar's almost hypocritical of such acts, are not most people understand that secular gradually prevailed, and wings to show off wood into the capital, few people know that the earliest users of wood wings good intentions cherished deviated from the the beginning of the Ming Dynasty scholar's work bad a piece with the needs of the community come out, handed from generation to generation. Chicken wing wood furniture span of at least five hundred years, of which there are respected scholars, businessmen confused by this. Chicken wing wood furniture, like an eccentric person, is unpredictable. On the wood itself, it changed the number allocated so far could not be clarified.

Wings types of wood can be roughly divided into: the new wings wood, old wings wood, fake wood and so on chicken wings.
1, the new wings wood. The new wings are talking about here is still in the Qing Dynasty wood products. The new wings wood color slightly heavy, brown, texture, slightly yellow in color; weight heavier, with the old wings from the amount of wood can be distinguished; texture significantly, the new wings wood in the eyes of ordinary people than the old wood beautiful wings. The new wings wood fiber thick, toughness is good, is not easy carving, so where the new wings are substantially rough wood carvers. The new wings wood sources of complex varieties more, there is both good and bad, place of production should be more than one or two, from the furniture, point of view, we should be aware of, and do not get to the bottom, to drill horn, otherwise they will go astray.
2, the old wooden wings. Where the Ming Dynasty furniture, wood wings, as well as some of the early Qing furniture use wood wings. Wood is not difficult to distinguish between the old wings, above all, the weight of the old wood body wings of light, the lightest in the hardwood family, or even did not arrive there are some firewood, such as beech. A chicken wing wood furniture, these things weigh a weight you can know whether it was an old chicken wing wood; followed by the color of old wood color gray wings, particularly long-lost-wax years later, its color Tuhui, ugly to the extreme. After waxing, color, slightly shallow, chicken wings texture can be distinguished; third texture less obvious, than to imagine an old chicken wing wood so beautiful, lack of experience are often confused with the ferrea. However, to distinguish the old wooden wings with a simple and feasible approach: erect nail with the wood grain direction of 90 degrees to form gently across the smooth wings not affect those who are old wood, with a sense of texture are those who jump to ferrea. Old chicken wing wood fiber flexibility, can be competent in general carving, fine sculpture in the Ming-style wooden furniture, no wings, indicating the wings wood material limitations.
3, fake wood wings. Originally there were no fake wood wings, says that the new order is different from the old wings wood, had used false distinction between the words. Such a pseudo-wings wood is imported from Africa in recent years, with the aforementioned two types of feelings is not the same species, this pseudo-wings very beautiful wood grain on the wood wings understand the old people, a look at this wood will be considered vulgar, beautiful too exaggerated; color it is an anti-convergence of the old wood wings, black and yellow, gaudy bear; weight was also too heavy, and mahogany are similar; the most painful is that fake wings wood construction of the existence of a odor is very unpleasant, Cantonese call it see light Uzbekistan, Zhejiang called Tokyo wood, Suzhou is called sand Paulownia. Where the use of such wings made wood furniture, will no doubt counterfeit.
