Exposed Sections Must Be Flush

A rustic detail with an exposed but flush-cut material cross-section. The countertop is a single ten-centimeter-thick piece of rough-sawn wood or stone, with its front edge's cross-section fully exposed, revealing the material's thickness and internal texture. However, this cross-section is precisely cut flush, with straight edges perpendicular to the front face, without natural edges or irregularities. The surface is rough, but the outline is sleek.
Avoid: Retaining natural edges and irregular cross-sections, adding trim strips or covering to the cross-section, allowing uneven thickness, making the edges rounded and losing sleekness.

一處材料斷面外露的質樸細部。檯面是一整塊十公分厚的粗鋸木或石材,前緣的斷面完整露出,可以看到材料的厚度與內部的紋理;但這道斷面是被精準切齊的,邊緣筆直、與正面成九十度,沒有自然邊與不規則。粗糙的是表面,俐落的是輪廓。避免:保留自然邊與不規則的斷面、在斷面加上收邊條與包覆、讓厚度不均、把邊緣做成圓角失去俐落。
