Orientation
Your selected material can be positioned into your final product using different orientations of the wood. Read below to learn more!
Face Grain
Face grain (or plain grain) the wide face of a milled board and exhibits multiple layers of grain on top of each other.
Edge Grain
Edge grain (or vertical grain) is produced by quarter-sawing the lumber so that the edges of the growth rings are exposed on the widest faces of the piece, and the rings form angles of 45 to 90 degrees.
End Grain
Material is cut across the growth rings of the tree. It exposes the character of the wood rings and graining for an exquisite finished piece. the end grain wood fibers absorb the impact of the knife blade so the block is resistant to nicks and gouges as well as keeping your blade sharp During cutting and chopping. end grain cuts produce highly-aesthetic wood with character, color, and durability.
Figured Wood
Figured wood occurs from environmental influences and can leave behind beautiful pattern well sought after in woodworking. They can appear in many patterns adding additional character to the inal piece.
Curly
Curly is a type of grain figuring. Figuring can happen in many tree species and the reason for it is still up for debate. Most experts agree it is due to environmental factors such as the site in which the tree grew, positioning, stress, and even parasites. Curly figuring creates a wave pattern within the grain.
Spalted
Spalted wood is created when fungi colonize extracting nutrients leaving behind a brilliant dark pattern within the grain.
Chatoyance
Figured wood grains can result in an illusion called chatoyance where light is reflected more brilliantly along the grain creating a luminescent effect.
