The silvery white waves found on oak are called Medullary rays. These radial structures are perpendicular to the regular growth rings and conduct water and transport other substances from the centre of the tree to its periphery. As such, they usually appear fatter and more vivid near the sapwood.

English #Pippyoak from @cockingsawmills resawn & skimmed for #arts&crafts #executivedesk #desk #oak #artisan #furniture
Well seasoned timber makes such a difference to the process of timber conversion and furniture construction. The Pippy oak I bought from English Woodland Tiimber in April has been in my workshop for two weeks so it was time to start skimming the boards and prepping for the drawers I need to make for the desk commission. The timber is resawn for book-matched drawer bottoms and is stable and ready to joint.
