silver grain

Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments

In certain woods a peculiarly brilliant grain and very decorative in effect, obtained by cutting in the direction of the medullary rays; that is, by sawing the boards or planks in the direction of the radius of the section of the log. It is peculiarly attractive in oak, partly because of the openness of the other grain, with which the broad and smooth stripes of the silver grain contrast. (Sturgis, 1900)
