There is a distinction between new and old bristlewood. The texture of old bristlewood is dense and its purple-brown color is intermixed with patterns. Especially when cut longitudinally with a slight inclination, the grain is delicate and floating, giving the impression of feathers shining brightly. New bristlewood, on the other hand, is coarse in texture, with a mixture of purple and black colors, and its grain is often muddy and unclear, stiff and without a rotating pattern. Moreover, it is easy to crack and split when nailed. In fact, genuine old bristlewood has long been extinct, and the bristlewood we see now is all new bristlewood from places like Fujian, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa. The so-called Burmese bristlewood in the antique furniture market comes from Myanmar and Thailand. Its heartwood is dark brown or chestnut brown, often with black stripes, with a high density that sinks in water. The wood is smooth and fine, with a sandstone heart, that is, something like sandstone. The mature period of Burmese bristlewood is 150-200 years, and its diameter can reach 30-40cm. In the market, it is often falsely called old bristlewood by merchants.

African Chicken Wing Wood is produced in the Congo Basin in Africa. Its heartwood is dark brown, slightly yellow, often with black stripes, and the grain is the coarsest; it also has the lowest density and does not sink in water. The wood is relatively brittle and slightly less hard. African Chicken Wing Wood does not contain sand or stones. The trees have larger and straight trunks. It is also known as "Black Chicken Wing Wood" or falsely labeled as "Southeast Asian Chicken Wing Wood" in the market. It is one of the wood species with the largest market stock among new Chicken Wing Woods.
In the "National Standard for Redwood" there is also a kind of wood known as "Iron Knife Wood," which is mainly distributed in tropical regions such as India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and other countries. There is also a small amount of distribution in Yunnan, Guangdong, and Guangxi in China. The heartwood of Iron Knife Wood is brown or dark brown, often with black stripes; the material is between the Burmese chicken wing wood and African chicken wing wood. In addition, we should also pay attention to a non-redwood ironwood, also known as "iron pear wood" or "iron chestnut wood," which is produced in Southeast Asia. It is also distributed in Yunnan and Guangxi in China. When the wood is cut open, it is red brown, but it will soon turn into dark red brown with purple stripes, with high density and sinking into water, and is hard in texture. Ironwood has wide and complete materials, because of its color and grain similar to chicken wing wood, there is often the phenomenon of using ironwood to deceive chicken wing wood. But it can be identified carefully, the grain of chicken wing wood is thinner, and the texture is circular. The grain of ironwood is coarser, and the texture is straight. Although ironwood is not a kind of redwood, it is a high-quality material for hardwood carving.
