Rosewood is distinguished by dark red veins. To imitate this tree, maple is taken as the most suitable in its structure. Maple planks or plywood must be carefully sanded before going into processing, as only in this case they are well stained. Here are some recipes mordant to simulate rosewood.

1 method

1) To imitate rosewood, two paints are prepared: one for lighter red veins, the other for darker ones. These paints are solutions of aniline in 60° alcohol. Paints are made according to the following recipes.

1) Light red:

1 part by weight of coralline;
1 weight part rosein;
100 weight parts of alcohol or vodka.

2) Dark red:

1 part by weight of coralline;
1 weight part rosein;
0,1-0,2 parts by weight of brown aniline;
100 weight parts of alcohol or vodka.

With the help of a brush divided into several parts, the veins are painted with No1 paint so that a space of 10-12 mm remains between each two. As soon as these veins dry, some of them are reinforced here and there with the same paint. After that, the veins are painted with thin kolinsky brushes in such a way that they do not seem sharply defined. Finally, the darkest veins are painted with paint No. 2. The entire drawing must be executed in such a way that natural maple veins pass between the drawn veins. If the maple tree came from dark varieties, then to lighten it, immerse it in a solution of 1 part bleaching powder in 20 parts of water and, after the tree is immersed, add 1 liter of strong vinegar to the solution, which makes the tree brighten in half an hour. Then it is placed for a day in a solution of 1 part of soda in 10 parts of water, removed from which it is washed and dried.

Wood treated in this way can be stained with the most delicate tones that penetrate deep into the wood.

2 method

For a more rough imitation of rosewood, without painting the veins, you can use the following mordant. For this, two liquids are prepared: 100 g of sandalwood is dissolved by boiling in 300 g of water; 100 g of Kassel earth and 10 g of potash are dissolved in 300 g of water. Then both liquids are mixed together, filtered and poured into different tin vessels.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
