Information: A
Sycamore tree, often called an American plane tree or buttonwood
tree, can grow to a massive size and grows in riparian and wetland
areas. Sycamore wood has a rather plain appearance with some flecks.
However, when the wood becomes spalted it becomes quite attractive.
Spalted wood is wood that is in the process of rotting and has a
bunch of fungi in the wood. The fungi makes lines pen-like black
lines, in Sycamore, and results in some wild looking figure. The Spalted Sycamore
I use has lots of pen-like black lines and came from a saw mill in
South-Central Pennsylvania. This particular saw mill owner collects
unique primo one-of-a-kind pieces of wild looking woods for me.
Redwoods
are the tallest living trees on earth. In the mid 1800’s logging
operations took place in Northern California, where these trees
grow, leaving behind a bunch of stumps that were deemed unusable.
These stumps are now being salvaged. Most of this salvaged wood has
been dried over a hundred years. The stumps often have burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some
stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots.
This burl wood has an amazing
amount of figured birdseye-- probably some of the highest
concentration of birdseye in any wood in the world. |
