Woodworking Textures - What You Need to Know

Welcome to the captivating world of woodworking textures, where the craftsmanship of Two Birds Furniture transforms reclaimed wood into exquisite treasures, each texture telling a unique story of its own.



Aged Rough Sawn:

Imagine the raw, unrefined beauty of aged rough sawn textures, where the wood's surface bears the marks of its history. This texture is achieved by cutting the wood roughly, leaving behind pronounced ridges and a coarse finish that speaks of the wood's journey through time and weathering. This texture is easy to spot as the saw marks are curved






Resawn Elegance:

Resawn textures are a testament to precision and artistry, achieved by using a resaw. The blade marks are then left raw and look like a 'chatter' mark on the wood. These are straight lines across the wood.








Hewn Details:

Hewn details capture the rustic charm of traditional craftsmanship. This texture is achieved by skillfully carving subtle indentations and irregularities into the wood, creating a textured surface that reflects the warmth and authenticity of bygone eras.




Checking Details:

Checking details are the natural cracks and splits that occur in reclaimed wood over time, adding to its rustic appeal. These imperfections are not flaws but rather authentic features that reflect the wood's resilience and character, enhancing the charm of our furniture pieces.



End Grain Revelations:

End grain textures offer a fascinating glimpse into the inner structure of wood, revealing its intricate patterns and unique characteristics. By exposing the cut ends of the timber, this texture showcases the natural beauty of growth rings and grain variations, inviting admiration for nature's intricate design.




Tenon Marks and Beyond:

Every detail, traditionally in woodworking was done by hand. Joining beams within the home with something called a mortise and tenon joint, leaving indentations within the beams that we salvage.




At Two Birds Furniture, we invite you to embark on a journey of discovery through the enchanting world of woodworking textures. From the rugged charm of aged rough sawn planks to the refined elegance of resawn surfaces, each texture is a testament to our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of reclaimed wood.
