Features: This book takes Suzhou furniture as an example, where completely Ming-style crafted redwood furniture is rarely seen. After the decline of Huanglihua wood furniture production in the early Qing Dynasty, the import and export of redwood clearly did not keep up. Meanwhile, Suzhou craftsmen could not stop production, so a large number of Ming-style Suzhou-made furniture were crafted from local high-quality wood—huimu wood.
