2. Ebony (dark wood) is hard (iron dark wood is the hardest and Toona sinensis dark wood is soft; Whether it can sink into the water after returning to the sun (naturally drying in the shade) after forming a shady tree mainly depends on the different tree species it forms, which can sink and float; In particular, some small pieces of finished products generally float on the water, and it is impossible to identify whether they are dark wood by whether they can sink into the water.

When most of the black wood was unearthed, the core of the tree had rotted, leaving only the middle layer of the head and trunk; The severely carbonized surface can not be used as a general material, so it is generally necessary to shave off its outer layer and leave the wood core for later use.
