Exploring the complex relationship between wood grain patterns, this book delves into the impact of spiral grain on timber quality, highlighting its detrimental effects on strength and usability. It contrasts this with the desirable wavy and interlocked grains, suggesting a connection between them. Recent research into tree cambium offers insights into stem polarity and morphogenetic processes. Additionally, the text discusses measurement techniques for grain deviations and their implications for wood properties, timber economics, and manufacturing practices.
