How to protect yourself from scams and distinguish real from fake Kelo?

In my previous articles: The phenomenon of popularity Kelo,
Choosing a real Kelo! How to distinguish? I already talked about Kelo, that is one of the extremely rare and reliable dead woods, extraordinarily much popular in the market and, because of this, they often wonder swindlers seeking to sell you instead of exclusive and high quality material cheap and rotten tree. Where such a demand, and how not to fall for tricks ushlyh criminals? And it will be dedicated to our today's material!

Firstly, Kelo - wood is extremely dense grade. In order to verify this, it is necessary to consider any random block of wood. Two inches of sapwood Kelo is a dark part. You can not determine its age without a microscope because of the tightly closed annual rings, the distance between which is less than 1 mm! After sapwood typically located two annual rings of one millimeter. They can be distinguished already without a microscope, but this is still not an easy task. A conventional dead wood from the annual rings in the sapwood sufficiently large that immediately outputs it as compared with Kelo.

The second feature, which should pay attention - Speel logs Kelo has a reddish ottenok❗ on its trunk no rot or decay traces, which are not subject to Suharnikov.
What, then, do the scammers? The reddish color of camouflaged with paint, or, for example, potassium permanganate. And all in an attempt to give a dry rotten wood for a quality Kelo. See this is relatively easy to fake on closer inspection.

It is also very important to visit the production site and look at the material you are working with the builders. If such a material is clearly visible damage by pests or fray trash therefrom, it is possible to safely give up this forgery. Nothing to do with Kelo it has not.

Now you know the features of the present Kelo, knowing that, would not be able to mix it with cheap and low quality dead wood.
