刚花了点时间找适合做烟斗的树种,发现黄杨木根瘤的鸟眼与石楠根瘤很相似,又在村口找到有关29种木材的测试,以及外网对不同木种用于烟斗的排名,分享一下:
1)首先是村口29种木材的测试信息,有趣的是黄杨木通过测试,而鼠李没有通过,石楠因品种原因也没有通过:
1700 - 1850 年间,欧洲不少木匠及烟斗匠,不断地测试以下 29 种木料的硬度(Hardness);切裁(Turning)、雕凿(Carving)及磨光(Polishing)的便利性;吸烟质量(Smoking Ablity);外形(Appearance)以及手感(Tactility),希望可以找寻找出合适的造烟斗材料。其中,以斜体字表示的木料(我用粗体表示),通过了测试。不过请注意,测试时间是石楠根(Briar)出现以前。
金合欢木(Acacia),桤木(Alder),白木(Ash),山毛榉木(Beech),桦木(Birch), 黑莓木(Blackberry),黄杨木(Boxwood),鼠李木(Buckthorn),香柏木(Cedar),樱桃木(Cherry),栗树木(Chestnut),?木(Dogwood),接骨木(Elder),榆树(Elm),榛木(Hazel),石南木(Heather)(石楠木有很多种属,我们使用的Briar只是27种变种、杂交的其中一种),角树材(Hornbem),熔岩(?!)(Lava),椴木(Linden),枫木(Maple),酸樱桃木(Morello),桑木(Mulberry),橡木(Oak),橄榄木(Olive),梨木(Pear),杨木(Poplar),紫檀(Rosewood),悬铃木(Sycamore),胡桃木(Walnut)。
2)外网对适宜做烟斗木材的排名,黄杨名列其中,但有些树种与上面矛盾如鼠李、接骨、白木:
Types of Wood to Use for a Tobacco Pipe:
There are many different types of wood that you can use to make a tobacco pipe, so know which kind you want before whittling begins.
Briar- The highest quality pipes are made of briar wood. This wood is usually aged at least 100 years, often 200 years. It is virtually impenetrable to heat, and makes for a perfect bowl for your tobacco. It is hard to find, though, which is why briar pipes usually cost a little more.
Cherry- Cherry tree wood is often used for homemade pipes; it has a stove pipe appearance and usually retains the bark of the tree on the outside of the bowl. These pipes look less refined, but are fun to create with hand tools.
Maple - Maple is a wood that is easier to find and work with. If you have a workman's shop, you can make a beautiful pipe out of maple wood. But most of the work on maple pipes must be done with power tools.
Plum - Plum has a rich, dark finish similar to cherry. If you cannot find maple or cherry wood, plum wood is an adequate substitute. But go for maple or cherry first, as those woods are more affordable.
Elderberry - This is a very small wood, but this is perfect for handmade pipe stems. Especially if you're making a bowl out of cherry, try to use elderberry wood for a long, sturdy stem.
White Ash - For a long, wizard-like pipe, ash is the wood you're looking for. Native Americans also used this wood for their peace pipes. Bottom line: if you want a long pipe, look for ash wood.
Ulmer - Ulmer is the name of the style, not the wood. These pipes are usually either made out of boxwood or walnut. Ulmer pipes are those that contain much ornamentation. If you want to get frilly and eccentric with your pipe, ulmer is the way to go.
3)又在网上搜到几张黄杨根瘤的器物照片:
清代旱烟盒或文人用墨盒(黄杨根瘤)
黄杨根瘤烟丝盒
4)黄杨的生态特征:
1.耐阴喜光,在一般 室内外条件下均可保持生长良好。长期荫蔽环境中,叶片虽可保持翠绿,但易导致枝条徒长或变弱。
2.喜湿润,可耐连续一月左右的阴雨天气,但忌长时间积水。
3.耐旱,只要地表 土壤或盆土不至完全干透,无异常表现。
4.耐热耐寒,可经受夏日暴晒和耐摄氏零下20左右度的严寒,但 夏季高温潮湿时应多通风透光。
5.对土壤要求不严,以轻松肥沃的沙质壤土为佳,盆栽亦可以蛭石、泥炭或土壤配合使用,耐碱性较强。
6.分蘖性极强,耐修剪,易成型。
7.秋季光照充分并进入休眠状态后,叶片可转为红色。
8.可四季换盆或移栽,夏季或新芽萌发时移栽应注意遮阴并防止盆土过湿,否则易导致原有叶片脱叶
形态特征: 生长习性: 中性,生长慢,耐修剪,抗污染
