Recently I want to use to make a piece of mahogany board chopping chopping but friends said mahogany block cut out of the food to eat in the end it is harmful to your health please give understanding professional answer Thank you!!
The chopping board is the best one, and the tree is also very good, but it can not be used as a chopping block
Yes of course, but not all can do mahogany wood chopping block, the best is ironwood.Ironwood is also called "excentrodendron hsienmu" originated in China's southern Guangxi and northern Vietnam, often grows in mountain forests in the Carboniferous rocks or piles due to the slow growth, precipitous rock faces and sheer cliffs, tall wood, Hector red, tissue density, and absorbed a lot of calcium mineral mountain, so the wood is as hard as iron the average weight per cubic centimeter, 1.089 kg, hardness per square 2136 kg per cent, wood quality coefficient 3292, toughness, sink into the water, very resistant, calendar Millennium immortal, famous for the high quality and high hardness of wood.How to identify the Ironwood chopping block and common wood chopping block:First, look at the characteristics. "The old Ironwood" block of wood fiber, dense and hard, made of it has no chopping, chopping mud, water, no corrosion, surface smooth, clean, long service life. The ordinary wooden board, commonly made of maple wood, Catalpa wood, were a soft wood sawdust is easy to fall.Two, look at the relative density. "Ironwood" chopping wood than the major sink in water, wood is not common.Three, see texture. "Iron wood" wood chopping twill, common wood is not.Four, see hardness. "Ironwood" block with his thumb nail row is not significant in the section of nail marks, common wood is significant.Five, listen to the sound. "Iron hammer" chopping block is used as iron a jingling sound, while the ordinary wood is a slap on the sound of it.
Is not harmful to health, but not very easy to use mahogany furniture features:Advantage：1) darker, more reflect the antique style for traditional furniture.2) heavy wood, giving people a good sense of quality.3) the general wood itself has its own exudes fragrance, especially ebony.4) hard material, high strength, wear resistance, good durability.Shortcomings:1) because of the low yield, it is difficult to have good quality, uneven quality.2 lines and rings are not clear, the visual effect is not fresh enough.3) heavy material, not easy to carry.4) the material is hard, the processing is difficult, and prone to cracking phenomenon.5) material more greasy, easy to return to oil at high temperature.
The theory can do but with mahogany chopping, mahogany and rosewood wood chopping put fine timber to petty use, which contains mild toxins, long-term use of a harm to human body.Daily use, to "five prevention", "no three":"Five" is to prevent direct sunlight, to avoid wood cracking or crisp; prevent over drying, avoid dry wood deformation; damp proof, lest meet wet wood, long decay; fire, furniture is wood products, flammable items, pay attention to the fire to burn; antimoth rat bite."Three" is not in the top of the cabinet table, chair, on the surface of heap weight, avoid furniture deformation; don't wipe or rinse with a damp cloth, but can not use alkaline water, alcohol, organic solvent cleaning, to avoid damage to wood fiber; move lift light light, don't pull hard pull, avoid damage
How to say it. The main thing is mahogany should wet, avoid drying after exposure and do not block must let it dry for a bit, if you have been let it wet. There will be bacteria, harmful to the human body. It is not the block itself is harmful to people,
