Dark Hardwoods: Oak and Mahogany

A set of dark academic woodwork. The wood is oak, mahogany, or walnut, in a deep reddish-brown color, with a warm, non-glaring sheen from years of waxing and use. The edges are rounded from wear, with dents and fine scratches. It is used for bookshelves, wainscoting, long tables, and doors, occupying more than half of the frame. Avoid: using light-colored and whitewashed wood, using high-gloss varnish that reflects light, using veneer and laminate, making the wood look brand new and flawless.

一組深色的學院木作。木材是橡木、桃花心木或胡桃,顏色是深棕帶紅,表面經過多年的打蠟與使用,呈現溫潤但不刺眼的光澤;邊角被磨得圓潤,有磕碰的痕跡與細小的刻痕。它用在書櫃、護牆板、長桌與門上,佔畫面的一半以上。避免:使用淺色與刷白的木材、使用亮光漆讓表面反光、使用貼皮與美耐板、讓木材看起來全新無痕。
