First, look at the whole.
1) Whether the color is uniform
Whether all the beads on a bracelet look the same color as a whole, which can tell whether the whole string is from the same wood. If the color of the whole string of bracelets is uneven, it will affect the aesthetics of the effect of the later dribbling. (Figure 3)
2), whether the pattern is unified
The pattern of huanghuali has a grimace pattern, a water ripple, a tiger skin pattern, and a straight pattern. No matter how many beads on a bracelet should only appear the same pattern, if a string of beads with both grimace patterns and beads with water ripples on a string of hands, the overall effect will appear chaotic and unbeautiful. (Figure 4)
3) Whether the oiliness is good
Now pay attention to playing with oil pears, oil pears refer to the amount of oil contained in wood. It is generally manifested in two aspects:
weight. If possible, weigh in the same size of the bracelet, year-on-year, heavy bracelet indicates that the oil is large, light means that the oil is small.
color. People tend to think that the darker part of the wood is the oil pear, which is basically accurate, because the darker part is generally more oily. It is more accurate to say that the transparency is high and the oiliness is large.
Second, look at the single bead.
After looking at the effect of the overall bracelet, we look at each bead separately, and the pattern of each bead of Huanghuali is beautiful because of its change, it is naturally generated, and the pattern of each bead is unique.
1), black can not "die"
The dark place of the bead pattern can not be too "dead", in layman's terms, the black place can not be too stunned, can not look like a big black dot, can not be without details. (Figure 5)
2), white can not be "skin"
The light color of the beads cannot be without a pattern, and the white wood color cannot appear. (Figure 6)
The above two points are the basic principles of looking at a single bead, outside the principle of the pattern to select according to the characteristics of the pattern, the pattern of sea yellow is numerous, spider pattern, eye, etc., this time or to their own preferences and economic strength to decide.
All 10 textures are highly sought after.
Tumor scarring
The legendary sea xanthoma scar has been included in the top collection by collectors. Tumor scars are also called galls," "gall eyes," "tree tumors," and wherever they are woody, galls are the most expensive. Its texture is mostly manifested as a small and dense local ghost eye, and the texture is highly distorted and fickle. The scar material has little to do with the price, it is not a product that can be bought with money, it is completely dependent on luck. After polishing, it forms a beautiful texture and is a rare collection.
Sesame dots
The sesame dot pattern is a rare pattern in sea yellow, and I accidentally encountered this pattern when I helped my friend to cut the material in April and May this year. This texture as a whole looks unattractive, it looks very dirty, and it does not reflect the beauty of the flowing water at all, but in the eyes of sea yellow enthusiasts, it is exactly the opposite, this pattern is as rare as the tumor scar, especially rare; it is common in the yellowish material, so if you encounter this product of sea yellow, you need to look at it before starting.
Grimace tattoos
A branch on the yellow pear tree, when reflected on the trunk, will form a boil, this scar is called a grimace, the grimace is like a face, to make people look at a glance to be able to imagine a face or an animal face called a grimace, grimace is also called "grimace" "baby face".

Ghost eyes
Ghost faces often have ghost eye prints, and the collection of ghost face lines forms one or more eyes called "ghost eyes", and some ghost eyes are vivid and strange, just like the "eyes" of the devil. Ghost eye is an important criterion for judging the quality of the yellow pear pattern, there is a saying of "price by eye", that is, the more objects or raw materials the ghost eye, the higher the price.
Ghost eye prints (this dense and numerous ghost eyes become "galls")
Tiger skin stripes
Tiger skin pattern is one of the classic patterns of huanghuali, the golden background color black oil line, making it look like tiger skin, commonly found in bran pear material, some of the background color with purple tiger skin pattern looks particularly beautiful, pleasing to the eye. The tiger skin pattern is reflected in the handicrafts, which is more intuitive and moving.
Landscape patterns
Landscape grain in the wood grain, in fact, is two concepts, is the mountain grain and water grain (commonly known as water waves) collectively referred to. Its texture consists of a landscape painting that resembles a mountain, such as a mountain peak, such as a water wave, which can be called a landscape pattern. Landscape patterns are not unique to sea yellow, cherry wood, walnut and so on have similar textures.
Mountain pattern
Water ripples
Spider pattern
Shaped like a spider, textured like a spider's feet.
Lightning streaks
It is often found in tree scars, resembling lightning bolts that form irregular textures.
X-shaped pattern
The texture pattern forms an X-shape.
X-stripes
(The wood with a complete cross-section is processed into a circle for the shaft)
X-pattern pot
(Imagine splitting from the middle, and its cross-section is a mountain pattern)
Eye
(The eccentricity of the wood with a complete cross-section is processed into a circle for the shaft)
Bamboo silk pattern
In the Hainan Huanghuali diameter of larger logs and relatively long age wood out of the board, the trunk material is the mainstay, its texture is mostly landscape pattern and bamboo silk pattern, general trail material This texture is not much, these two textures are also common in other woods.
In particular, the bamboo silk pattern its texture is straight and long, and there is no major undulating change, and we commonly straighten the bamboo wire texture is more similar, like this straight Hainan huanghuali material is not gorgeous enough, but it appears elegant and solemn, more suitable for some large and stable utensils.
