Wood Characteristics

The very interesting thing about wood is not only its diversity in grain, color, fragrance & patterns….but as well, it can carry countless traces of its life on the planet. Note that in all of my items can be visible traces of those characteristics. Those typical traces can be for example;

 

Sound Knot
A knot in a piece of wood that is firmly fixed, undecayed, and as strong as the surrounding wood. Also known as tightknot.

Unsound Knot
An unsound knot is a circular area that was the base of a branch that has a pith center.

Burl
This is a swirl or twist in the grain of the wood that does not contain a knot.

Bird Pecks
These are small marks in the grain pattern caused by pecking birds.

Wormholes
Wormholes are traces of previous wildlife in the wood. They can range in size between 1 mm. up to 4 cm. (0.04 to 1.57 inch.)

Mineral Streaks
They are an olive to blackish-brown color, following a grain pattern.

Gum Streaks
Gum streaks are mineral-like streaks of color naturally occurring only in Cherry wood.

Heartwood
This is the mature, usually darker wood, extending from the sapwood to the pith.

Sapwood
Sapwood is lighter colored wood growing from inside the bark to the heartwood.
