ABOUT THE WOOD
About Acacia Wood Acacia is an environmentally friendly hardwood that is grown on all continents. This pod bearing tree is known for its rich, dark colors that range from gold to chocolate brown, as well as its beautiful, contrasting patterns. The wood is farmed throughout South East Asia for use in the furniture and housewares industries. One of the special characteristics of Acacia wood is an unusual property known as 'chatoyancy' - it appears to change color and luster in different lighting conditions as if to shimmer. The wood can change from a light tan to a dark brown...sometimes appearing similar to Walnut and sometimes more like Teak. About RubberwoodRubberwood is one of the more durable lumbers used in the manufacturing of today's home furnishings. As a member of the maple family, rubberwood has a dense grain character with very little tendency to warp and crack. Rubberwood has very little shrinkage making it one of the more stable construction materials available for furniture and kitchen products. Like maple, rubberwood is a sap producing species. In the case of maple, it is sap; in the case of rubberwood, it is latex. Rubberwood produces all the latex used in the world for all rubber based products. There is one more important feature of rubberwood that is very important in today's world. Rubberwood is the most ecologically "friendly" wood in the world. After the economic life of the latex producing rubber tree, which is generally 26-30 years, the latex yields become extremely low and the planters then fell the rubber trees and plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the sole purpose of manufacturing, rubberwood is used only after it completes its latex producing cycle and dies. This wood is therefore eco-friendly in the sense that we are now using what was going as waste.
About Bamboo With age, Bamboo forms a very hard wood, especially when seasoned, and is light and exceptionally tough. This makes it useful for many things such as houses, fences, bridges, panels, canoes, furniture, chopsticks, food steamers, toys, hats, martial arts weaponry and various musical instruments. It is also widely carved for decorative artwork and is an ideal material for kitchen products. Bamboo can be permanently stained which makes it ideal for high fashion home furnishing products.
About Walnut Sugar maple (rock maple) is the hardest and strongest maple wood. It is a straight grained wood with a fine texture. Sapwood is white and selected for its color, heartwood is light reddish brown. It is widely used for furniture, cabinets, violins and other musical instruments. Some sugar maple wood has an unusual grain pattern that makes it particularly beautiful and valuable. This wood is called curly maple or bird’s eye maple. Maple is a sap producing species famous for its sweet, flavorful sap. The sap rises in the trunks in the spring. Syrup producers collect the sap from pipes driven into the tree trunks. They then boil the sap down to make maple syrup and maple sugar. Maple syrup production is a multimillion dollar industry in New England and southern Canada. About Birch Birch is a moderately strong, high-density wood of North America and northern Europe. Birch wood is a straight-grained wood with fine even texture. Generally the sapwood is creamy white and the heartwood is golden brown. Paper birch is predominately sapwood with small brown knotty hearts. The wood is mostly white but as it nears the core will show brown flame patterns, with white sap edges…quite dramatic. Yellow birch; however, tends to exhibit a more consistent golden brown color with little creamy white sapwood.
About Cherry Wood These boards are constructed of individual blocks of wood which are arranged so that the grain of the wood runs vertically (up and down), so that the top cutting surface is actually the end of many individual pieces of wood. This technique produces a “self-healing” effect which makes it ideal for chopping blocks and boards. When the knife strikes the surface during cutting, the grain of the wood actually separates and closes when the knife is removed. The wood itself is not cut, because you are cutting between the fibers. Your knife blade will last much longer and you’ll see no knife marks on the board. |
