LarryEA Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) This is an extension of Travis' "Wood Defects" post.In the Wood Defects post, Travis said,'Yah, I was looking for common terms that describe desirable 'defects' like burl. Not many woodworkers are looking for cupped wood. But spalted wood is highly saught after. I'm working on a new project I think many of you'll enjoy. I can't say too much right now since I'm still ironing out the bugs.Maybe you know what the new project is, but I don't. So just-in-case he still needs terms for woodcharacteritics, here is my list:Bear ClawBee's WingBirds EyeBlisterBlue StainBurlCats PawCrotchCurlyFlameMottlePeanut ShellPecky (See AmazingKevins post)QuiltedRaysSpaltedSwirlWormyThere are some others like 'Stress'.If you want a great list with discriptions and pictures, check out Click here: wood figure terms Lots of good info at "HobbitHouse" Edited March 27, 2014 by LarryEA amazingkevin and Doug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Larry, you forgot punky wood. Those are the woods that hang out at arcades and cause trouble. Maybe that's just punk wood. But punky is an undesirable characteristic of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Travis, what was the new project? This was from a really old thread, but I was putting together a new website to make it easier to find wood on eBay. You can find the finished project here: http://www.wooddealsonline.com/ I've been working on bringing the same thing here to SSV. It's a little more complicated with the current software, but I'm getting there. It's on the ever expanding "To-Do" list I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
