What does the description mean?
All of the descriptions below are all natural in timber; some are created when the trees are growing, and some occur whilst processing and drying.
If you have any further questions on any items, please don't hesitate to contact me.
The photos will show as many descriptions as possible.
Waney Edges
This is when the timber keeps 1 or 2 of the natural edges, which may or may not include the bark.
Surface Splits
They vary from shallow hairlinesplits to larger, wider splits on the timber's flat surfaces.
End grain split
These splits go into the wood from the cut ends of the timber.
Loose Bits & Flaky Bits
This is when the wood has become softer in some parts more than others or there are soft waney edges.
Wormholes& Bark Beetles
The holes are caused by insect attacks; all are treated before sale to ensure no further infestation.
1/4 Sawn
It is when the cut timber has horizontal grain; when cut like this, it is more sought after, as it becomes a more stable timber and, in oak, shows off the medullary rays.
Planner Tears
These are caused by the planning machine, which smoothes the timber. The tears are slight chip marks on the smooth surfaces.
Saw Marks
Saw marks are from the milling process and sometimes get left on the surfaces to preserve the thickness of the timber.
Spalted
This is often a favorite of woodturners. It is when the wood has been attacked by fungi; it then leaves black lines and various colorscolors through the timber. It will not carry on growing whilst the wood is dry.
Rustic
This tends to be slightly rough and ready timber;timber; it can have varying color,color, holes, soft bits, splits, shakes, nail holes, insect holes, and so on.
Cupped
This is when the wood concaves across its width.
Please note: the wood has been wiped with a damp cloth prior to photographs being taken.
This is to show the timber's natural grain and features and for you to see what it would look like once oiled, waxed, or polished.
No stain has been applied to any wood shown. All colors seen are natural to the wood.
