Which is better, golden nanmu beads or plain lobular rosewood beads?

Rosewood beads made of lobular rosewood are good and durable. Rosewood was a sacred tree in ancient India, because it was used by Buddha Sakyamuni when he was cremated (recorded in ancient Buddhist books), so Indians respected and cared for rosewood trees. Because of its hard wood, eternal fragrance, bright color, invulnerability, immortality and immortal evil spirits, rosewood is also called holy sandalwood. Therefore, people often regard rosewood as an auspicious thing to protect Anji Xiang.

The word "sandalwood" in Ten Tans and Nine Empty Spaces refers to the rosewood in the wild forest. There is also a saying that sandalwood is one foot empty and nine feet. Either way, it expounds the hardships of rosewood. Because the wild rosewood forest grows in the mountainous area with complex environment, the land is not fertile, and the wood cycle is hundreds or even thousands of years. Due to the harsh growth environment, the stems of trees will bend, resulting in irregular lines and uneven texture thickness. It is said that it will take 800 years to grow to a diameter of 20 cm, and the wood is oily and sinks when it enters the water. Due to the extreme lack of nutrients, in order to protect itself, rosewood will slowly absorb nutrients from heartwood, which will make the part of rosewood near heartwood more and more tender until the nutrients from heartwood are completely absorbed, then it becomes bran white, and finally it becomes "dead sandalwood", and the oil is exhausted, just like sawdust. We are the same. When we are hungry, our hearts are empty. As the saying goes, "I am flustered by hunger." We sometimes see rosewood nose without brown eyes, which is made of this material. If not used in time, it will slowly corrode and finally disappear. In short, bad environment is creation? The inevitable reason of "ten tan nine empty" In fact, the hollow rate of rosewood growing in the actual wild forest is much higher than 90%, which is almost hollow. The diameter of logs is also smaller than that of rosewood. From the data point of view, there are few trees over 25cm, and there are almost no annual rings. Therefore, bending, depression and slow growth ... lead to the limitations of making large pieces of furniture with wild rosewood forest, making old rosewood furniture more rare and precious. ?
