Wood

Spruce: Spruce wood is creamy white to brownish, with distinct annual rings. On all three sections (transverse, longitudinal, tangent) we can easily notice a clear color difference between the spring and summer incremental layers of wood.

Fir: The color of the wood, from creamy white to light yellow-brown, closely resembles spruce, but fir wood is a little less shiny.
Pine: the white part is creamy white to ocher, the core orange-brown to rust. The annual rings are pronounced.

Larch: The white layer is light yellow-brown, the core ocher to reddish-brown. The texture (drawing of annual rings) is thicker than spruce and excels in the beauty of many small, mostly well-overgrown knots.

Douglas fir: White wood is slightly lighter than heartwood, which has a light reddish brown color. The longitudinal section shows a distinctive drawing of annual rings.

Yew: The color of the heartwood varies from orange-brown with dark annealing to purple-brown with darker mallow or brown spots and spots of growing bark.

Oak: It has a relatively narrow, light brown white and a wide, evenly brown core. Distinctive “mirrors” (cut marrow rays) appear on the central and tangential section. Thanks to them, oak can be safely distinguished from elm or ash.

Elm: Core wood is usually distinctly chocolate brown, often with a reddish tinge, and is markedly different from lighter whitish wood. Core wood has narrower and irregular annual rings.

Ash: White, broad in young trees, narrower in old ones, creamy white, whiter in some individuals than maple, other pinkish. The core is usually irregularly demarcated, dark brown. Distinctive annual rings.

Acacia: From a narrow brownish-white white to a marrow there is a yellow-green-brown color, with a different, often interesting drawing. The annual rings are clearly visible.

Beech: Beech wood is very light cream to pinkish brown and often acquires a reddish bronze-brown color after steaming. It is straight-fiber, with wide marrow rays, and has a fine, regular texture.

Hornbeam: There is no difference between white and heartwood – both are indistinct white with gray stripes and spots, caused by wide marrow rays that form a speckled pattern when cut into quarters. It is usually irregularly or transversely fluted and has a fine, symmetrical texture.

Alder: There are only slight differences in color between white and heartwood, in general the alder wood is indistinct, without gloss, freshly cut it has a bright orange-brown color, which ripens to light reddish brown, with dark stripes in places of wide rays . The wood is straight-fiber, except for the places around the knots, and with a fine texture.

Maple: White wood is practically indistinguishable from the core; both are creamy white and have a narrow, straight pattern and indistinguishable annual rings. The texture is smooth, soft.

Birch: There is no color difference between white and heartwood, both have an inconspicuous creamy white to light brown color. The wood has a fine sagging and a fine texture. Marrow spots can be observed in the wood, which form irregular dark spots.

Linden: Creamy to yellow or gray-white colored, relatively firm, soft wood is uniformly dense.

Poplar: Core wood is not clearly separated from white wood, it is creamy white to very light straw in color, in some species light brown or pink-brown. It is usually straight-fiber and somewhat rougher (felt surface of the wood), but has a fine, regular texture.

Walnut: The heartwood is usually gray-brown, with irregular dark brown to black veins, accentuated by the naturally wavy course of the fibers. This wood with a distinctive pattern forms the core significantly different from other wood.
