Material Information

Natural Wood Characteristics:

All natural timber products are unique and will vary in markings, colour and texture, often showing distinctive markings. Sizes are nominal and may vary. Many dimensions are rounded or approximate. The product images shown are as accurate as photographic processes allow and may appear differently in accordance with lighting conditions and screen calibration in addition to the natural variation occurring between individual items.

Wood Description:

Wood is a natural material used in a wide range of construction projects and is known for its sturdiness, elasticity, noise reduction qualities and overall aesthtic appeal as a result of its natural characteristics. It will also swell, shrink and crack, release resins, display marrow, gnarls and graining, show inconsistent smoothness and ruggedness, release salts and exhibit pinholes and fungi/ mould.

All of these characteristics are expected with wood and can be explained as follows. Swelling, shrinkage and cracking is caused by the humidity in the atmosphere altering the volume of the wood. Resins escape from the wood usually in the first year following manufacturing. They fall off naturally of may be planed. Marrow, gnarls and grains are unique, natural characteristics of the tree. Rugged areas are where the natural texture of the wood differs and despite milling, cannot be removed. Salts, mould and fungi are caused by the humidity in the atmosphere and are usually a temporary phenomenon. Similary, pressure treated wood often shows markings that may appear to be mould, but are in fact a build up of the treatment applied which may be removed by hand or will gradually weather away. Pinholes are produced by small xylophagous insects. These insects were killed while processing the stem into the end product. Wood, the same as any natural material will never be 'perfect' as the beauty of the material is the variation in colour, texture and finish.
