Learning about Hardwoods

Hardwood is a popular choice in homes for a variety of projects. Everything from flooring to cabinetry can be done using hardwood to create a stunning look. There really is nothing as classic and timeless as hardwood, yet it can easily create a very modern look as well.

One of the things that helps make hardwood stand out are the natural variations that appear in the final look of the lumber being used. Some of these markings include:

  • Growth ring – You probably already know that the age of a tree can be determined by the number of rings it has; each year is a single ring.
  • Grain – This is what helps to determine the quality, size and other details about the wood fibers. Grain is visible lines.
  • Knots – When a branch falls off or is removed by cutting, this leaves a hard knot. Over time layers grow over this creating a dark, circular mark in the final lumber.
  • Sapwood – The closer you get to the bark the paler the wood becomes.
  • Mineral streaks – These are grey or olive colored marks left behind by environmental factors such as trace elements that can be found in soil or water.

All of these unique beauty marks are part of what makes each piece of hardwood lumber different from the next. Plus you have a variety of different types of wood that can make a huge difference in the final look of the project you are working on. Finally the finish or stain used will complete the look you are trying to achieve.
