1, making furniture. The beams used to build houses were all good wood, some were elm and some were Chinese fir. These wood materials have high density and strong corrosion resistance, and have not rotted for generations. Some people also specially invited the most capable and best carpenters in the village to help build them, so these Woods still have high economic value. If they are reused and converted into furniture, they are still very popular in the market.
2. Taobao Bay in the old house beam. Some rural people inherited their ancestors' old houses. If their ancestors were rich, the beams used may not be ordinary wood, and many people don't know about precious wood. If the beams of your house are made of golden nanmu and yellow gorgeous wood, the price will be very high. There is a family in rural Hainan, and the beams are made of Huang Huali wood, with an estimated value of several million. You can also find treasures in ordinary beams. The older generation likes to put "Liang Qian" in the beam when building a house. If this "Liang Qian" is an ancient coin, the recipient will earn it.
Actually, it's not just someone who buys it now. Some people did it in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but they bought some antique calligraphy and painting at that time. With the decrease of these cultural relics, many vendors put their ideas on the "old wood" in rural areas. And these logs can be used much more. I'll tell you in detail.
First, when firewood.
Speaking of this, many people may question that the price of wood collected by these vendors is not low. Who can collect these logs to make a fire? What you said is not reliable; But have you ever thought that there are many kinds of wood, and if the quality is too poor, people can't buy it at a high price. Although these common woods are collected for burning fire, they are actually used for burning charcoal. Because the country now prohibits deforestation and charcoal is becoming less and less, some people will collect these old wood for charcoal burning, but only if it belongs to the kind of material used for charcoal burning.
Second, Taobao
You know, in the past few decades, the destruction of the earth's forest resources by human beings is irreversible, and many precious animals and plants have been extinct, especially some rare plants, which have almost been extinct. But these plants still existed in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Some people will choose some good wood when it is time to put it. These Woods will not rot even if they are preserved for one hundred or two hundred years. Materials such as Huang Huali and Phoebe bournei are very precious.
Third, reuse
Great changes have taken place in modern people's aesthetic concepts. Some people like some old things, so some people will collect some old wood, and then combine its pattern, age and obsolescence to make some imitations of old things, and then sell them to people who like them for profit.
Fourth, added value.
Some old wood is wood in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of knowledgeable people, these wood can dig out a lot of value, and this value is not limited to money. However, in ancient China, furniture was not made of iron. Everything is a structure riveted with willow. Although some of these technologies have been preserved, many technologies have been lost. All scholars or experts will go somewhere to buy these ancient things and learn from their structures to restore some lost woodworking skills.
So these old objects, old wood, may be burning wood for farmers, but they are treasures for some people.
Speaking of this old house, I remember that our hometown used to live in the mountains. There are many such old houses, which are basically built by hand with mud bricks, blue bricks and wood. There are many such thick beams in the house, which are mainly used to support the whole house. This is also an important reason why their old house can stand for a hundred years. Now, now that I have moved down, the old house in the mountain has also been demolished. Grandpa is reluctant to part with it, and has asked someone to transport all the beams made of pine, Chinese fir and nanmu, a total of ten. A few years ago, a vendor came to the village and heard that he wanted to buy the beams of the old house. Grandpa suspected that some of them were still wet and was afraid of wasting, so he agreed. A dozen 15600, the price is not low.
I. Furniture renovation
Listen to my grandfather talking to them, they say they are engaged in furniture factory. The beams of this old house are durable and insect-proof, and the first-class nanmu beams have a faint fragrance. They are all top-grade materials for furniture. They can be used to renovate and process furniture for home use, which is much better than synthetic wood, and the selling price is also good, which also makes the purchase price higher.
Second, scouring ancient trees.
In the past, in some well-off families, the beams used for building houses were all fine wood. I've heard of mahogany, pear wood and rosewood. These are valuable timber, and some vendors and businessmen have a lot of knowledge. They bought this kind of wood from some mountainous areas and bought it at a high price, thus reselling it to make money.
Third, learn from the ancients.
Of course, there are also some antique lovers who are curious about rural housing construction. They buy these Woods for collection and research. The old things in the past also have a lot of ancient wisdom, such as these mortise and tenon structures, construction methods, manufacturing techniques and so on. , which are worth learning!
To sum up, those businessmen came to buy these girders with ulterior motives. If you meet them, be careful. You can't sell them cheaply. It is also a good choice to process and collect it yourself.
When it comes to old houses in rural areas, it generally refers to mud tile houses or simple brick houses. In such an old house, some wooden beams will be put on the top between the walls, and then some long boards will be put on the roof. There is also a kind of wooden beam that is built about two-thirds of the height of the house. It is used for layering, and can be made into one-story houses with wooden boards, such as many houses in rural areas like Cai Xiaoshan. Then someone went to the countryside to collect the old beams of the old house, a few hundred dollars each. What is it used for? In fact, it is nothing more than making full use of these old wood, and there is a reason why these old wood don't need new wood. The following is a specific analysis:
What are the advantages of using wood as the old beam of an old house?
My hometown is at the foot of the mountain, and the back mountain is the forest. Every household has a place with many trees, such as maple, pine and camphor trees. In the past, my family built a house outside the house as a kitchen, and I have seen the used wooden beams.
Those wooden beams are trees produced in their own forests. After they were cut back, the trees were still wet and heavy, so they could not be used immediately. Instead, they are soaked in the water in the pond for a period of time, usually at least five or six months. After that, it can be fished out to remove the residual bark and put in the yard for a month or two.
In this way, the resin and gum contained in the wood soaked in water are decomposed, and the whole piece of wood is especially suitable for making beams of houses, which is very durable and not afraid of moth-eaten, moisture-proof and deformation or cracking due to weather changes; If it is relatively thick wood, it will be sawn in half for use, and the cut surface will be more delicate and smooth, and no deliberate pruning is needed.
Although people used to live in mud-tiled houses, they also wanted them to be durable and live for a long time. Those wooden beams are a part of the building structure and play a great role in the tensile strength and load-bearing safety of the whole building. Therefore, the wooden beams used for building houses are all made of better wood and soaked in water.
Because the wooden beam is good enough, it is very durable. Many times the adobe houses are broken, but the wooden beams of the houses are still good. The houses newly built by farmers are all buildings, all of which are reinforced concrete, and there is no need to make beams. Some people buy those wooden beams, and farmers usually sell them, otherwise they leave them in place. And what should I do with the purchased wood? Generally used for furniture or decorative leisure.
First, the old house is made of old beams.
The above rural dishes also analyze some advantages of farmers using wood as wooden beams in old houses. The bought old beams can be directly sawed into tables, chairs, beds and other furniture. Don't worry that they will be used as furniture like new wood that has not been soaked in water, and may be deformed and cracked in the later stage. Moreover, the furniture made of old beams in old houses is not cheap, especially if the wood beams belong to high-grade expensive trees, such as Phoebe bournei, the furniture made is more popular and can be made.
I got married in the countryside a few years ago, and the wedding bed was bought locally. The wood used to make the bed cannot be soaked in water or dried. Before long, the bed board was deformed, and because it was not painted, it was moldy and speechless when I went back to Nantian. The wooden bed in my hometown is not painted, but there is no such situation because it is regarded as a wooden beam.
Second, the old house old beam decoration leisure bar
With the development of the times, some restaurants and leisure bars we see now are more modern in style, while others are more classical and elegant; Like wooden beams used for houses, some are carefully carved and particularly beautiful; In addition, the wood used to make wooden beams of houses is not necessarily straight, and some may be a little bent, with small protrusions of special shapes on them, which also looks very distinctive; These wooden beams are used to decorate the leisure bar in classical style, which is very good, simple but not simple, natural and beautiful.
Summary: Now there are more and more people living in buildings in rural areas, and the old beams of old houses are idle. Generally, it is bought for furniture or decoration and leisure. The prices of different old beams are different, and some are less than a few hundred pieces.
What is the special purpose of collecting old beams? In the past, wooden beams were basically hardwood, which was used for old beams.
1. sold to furniture factory to make logs, made into plates to make all kinds of furniture.
2. There are many old buildings in the countryside, and the removed shaped wood can be used as collectibles or sold to scenic spots for decoration.
3. Sell them to toy factories to make children's toys, building blocks, small wooden horses and the like.
Have you ever heard of Huang Mu furniture? It's worth thousands of dollars.
The old beam of the old house in the countryside is old, but its value is high. It is not easy for a century-old tree to grow up.
When building houses for the elderly, people pay attention to jujube pillars and elm beams. Jujube wood is hard and used as a pillar support. Of course, it has the advantages of firm and non-corrosive column feet, while elm is hard and tough, which has the advantages of enduring. After years of air drying, there is no deformation and deformation. Some people go to the countryside to collect old beams in old houses. I think it is now used in furniture processing.
At present, a piece of furniture is 10 thousand pieces, and the wood requirements should not be too bad. Old house beams are the best choice for old houses in rural areas, because rural people don't know what old house beams are for, how much they are worth, and they can buy them without much money. As for value-added, everyone in the interest chain knows that people who sell Lao Liang are in the dark.
The subject said that several hundred yuan is even too much, and the business is very fine. What is missing is a little. Bluff if you can. I also sold two girders when I turned over the house. How thick are they? One person can't hold it, and four or five people can't fit into the car. The old wood collector saw that one, and some only offered the price of ordinary wood, some heard of suspected wood, and the last one offered a higher price. I sold it to him because it was too remote and afraid of rain. Two dollars and three hundred dollars, people have been clamoring for expensive, because there is a dry grain on the beam.
It is useless to put the old beam of the old house in the farmer's house. It occupies an area and gets in the way. Generally speaking, it doesn't matter how much it is worth. If you sell it, it's worth it. Let it work in useful places. Rural people are so real.
With the acceleration of urbanization, many old things in rural areas are becoming more and more scarce, so many people try to make a fortune by using these old things.
In the past, building a house was a big event, and people would go all out to do it well, including materials, labor and so on. Therefore, the beams of old houses are excellent, mostly high-quality wood, and some big families even choose precious wood, such as Huang Huali and golden nanmu. Once these woods are recognized as precious woods, they will be worth a hundred times. Won't the people who buy this wood get rich?
This is actually a kind of psychology. People who buy the ovary beam of an old house simply use their professional knowledge to confirm the materials used in the beam, and then talk to the owner, bullying the owner into ignorance, buying the beam at a lower price, confirming that it is precious wood, and then selling it further to obtain a huge price difference. This is basically right. This is a very immoral behavior.
This was the case in the cultural relics market in those days. Some people who have mastered the professional knowledge of cultural relics appraisal go to the countryside to take the cultural relics that farmers regard as general items under various excuses and names, and spend little or no money to buy them back.
After professional appraisal, you can either find exotic goods to live in or resell them for huge profits. After such things happen many times, farmers don't want to be cheated, so doing old things arises at the historic moment, and all kinds of fake cultural relics appear in the market, cheating many people into bankruptcy.
There are still some people who continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb in rural areas, treating some fakes as ordinary objects and deceiving those who come to the door to pick up leaks, so an industrial chain of counterfeiting and selling fakes has been formed.
Jackie Chan's film "Zodiac" exposes the factory-made cultural relics counterfeiting activities, and counterfeiting and selling fakes have reached a very professional level. Many people commit crimes together, creating the illusion that some cultural relics have been unearthed in those cultural relics provinces, and specifically defrauding collectors who are not very knowledgeable or rich.
Of course, there are still some people who take these old beams as the research object and study the folk culture of a place. There are often some carved patterns or written spells on the beams, which can be used as the research objects of folk experts or architectural historians.
In addition to the beams of old houses as the research object, some people buy beams of old things for the purpose of recycling. Now some antique buildings need such beams, which will continue to be used as beams during construction. In rural areas, these beams will be sold as firewood with the demolition of houses. If someone buys them as pillars, it will be easier to buy them.
It is also a good thing to use these old beams in antique buildings and continue to play a role. Otherwise, antique buildings look like ancient buildings, and it's not good without anything antique.
In addition to the two situations mentioned above, there is another situation. In those days, the beams of old houses were all made of good wood. After years of baptism, most of these wooden materials have maintained their original texture without any damage. Some people bought these beams to make furniture, especially solid wood furniture, which is very popular.
Such raw materials are of good quality. As long as the workmanship is good, it is not a problem to make fine products and sell them at a good price. In fact, this is also a kind of recycling of resources and saving of natural resources.
In recent years, people have always heard or seen people go to the countryside to collect all kinds of old things in the countryside, such as some old stones that are most common in the countryside, some food troughs that were used to feed livestock, and even some beams on old houses, that is, the beams we put on when building houses.
These prices are not bad, so as long as they go to the countryside to collect them, they will sell them almost as long as they have them at home. After all, these are of little use at home. It is better to sell these old things and let them play a greater role.
So today, let's focus on this question, "What do they use to collect the old beams of old houses in rural areas, hundreds of dollars?" I also know some uses of the examples they collected.
As we all know, building houses in the past is not like using cement buildings as beams now. You know, in the past, we used to find all kinds of strong wood as girders. Among these Woods, there are some precious sandalwood and some common "poplars" in our daily life. Then someone here will ask, why not use paulownia?
In fact, paulownia can also be used, but it is rarely used, because the wood is not strong enough, and poplar is different from paulownia. Because poplar has been used for a long time, there is no need to find rotten ones. Therefore, in rural areas, except for relatively rich people, almost all poplar beams are made of poplar.
I think everyone knows the word "recycling resources", which means spending money to collect some old beams that can be used to make furniture. You know, furniture made of old wood gives people a heavy feeling, whether it is hand feeling or vision, and the price is higher than ordinary furniture.
There is also the use of old beams, because some places have the custom of building houses with old beams. Because the custom says "trade in the old for the new", the old beam is the latest beam used in new houses. In local customs, the longer the old beam is used, the newer it will be, and the higher the price will be. Therefore, the old beam collected for several hundred yuan can earn about half by changing hands, so the value and use of the old beam are still great.
Although the old beam looks shabby, its intrinsic value and chronological value are very high, so we should recognize its intrinsic value when we look at its use, so as to understand and understand its use.
