Who worked in the sector for years knows it: working with wood means not only modeling a material,<\/strong> but also knowing how to make it speak and revive it in a new guise, grasping the characteristics and the imperfections that tell a unique story, and continuing the story through the different workmanship first, and the enrichment of the memory emotion then, thanks to a photograph, a drawing, a framed print.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n

The variability of wood derives from the difference between each single tree, and from the combination of genetic factors and natural elements such as terrain, exposure, altitude, presence or absence of other trees, atmospheric events.<\/p>\n\n

Our goal is to use a good number of woods to enhance its structure, grain, porosity and surface appearance<\/strong> through the shape and finish<\/strong>. And its very essence.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n

Ayous wood: introduction and curiosities<\/span><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n

Ayous<\/strong>, also called obeche or abacus, are majestic trees with strong roots, of the deciduous<\/strong> family. This species is categorized as an upright tree, that can reach, and sometimes even exceed, 45\/50 meters in height, and 2 meters in trunk diameter.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n

For about the first 30 meters of height the Ayous trees have no leaves.<\/strong> This feature has a significant technical impact as it allows you to obtain knot-free wood<\/strong>. The knots in fact represent the points where the branches connect to the trunk and constitute physiological elements of the wood itself; the presence of knots can negatively affect the stability of the wood essence<\/strong>. The possibility of obtaining knot-free wood<\/strong> right from the start is therefore an advantage which increases the value of Ayous wooden planks.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n
